Supercritical Fluids: Fundamentals and Engineering Applications explores the development of supercritical fluids in energy sectors and their application in energy conversion systems, chemical, power, and material industries.

Looking beyond a conventional chemical-focused approach, the book provides critical support to a broad spectrum of professional fields and lays a solid foundation for the industrial application and technological innovation of supercritical fluid technologies. It begins with the basic physical laws and thermophysical basis of supercritical fluids in energy sectors before building on these principles to discuss basic heat transfer, flow properties, and the governing laws of flow and transportation of heat, mass, and energy conversions. Through the presentation of experimental evidence, numerical models, and industrial case studies, readers will gain insight into the unique physical mechanisms underlying supercritical fluid phenomena and their practical implications for energy efficiency, carbon neutrality, and technological innovation.

This book is a valuable resource for professional engineers in energy sectors as well as graduate students and researchers studying supercritical fluids, energy conversion, and environmentally friendly systems.
