Numerical Study on the Gravity Effect on Heat Transfer of Supercritical CO<sub>2</sub> in a Vertical Tube

The effects of gravity on the heat transfer performance of supercritical CO<sub>2</sub> flowing within a vertical tube with a diameter of 4.75 mm are numerically studied in this paper. The main objectives are to comprehensively investigate the action of gravity and buoyancy on the superc...
