Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of refrigerant mixing calculation technology, specifically to a method for predicting the group contribution of a CO2 binary mixed refrigerant gas-liquid phase equilibrium. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a natural working fluid. Due to its high thermal stability, safety, environmental friendliness, and ability to achieve high energy density and miniaturization of components, CO2 power cycles have broad application prospects in next-generation heat-to-work conversion cycles, waste heat from internal combustion engines, medium- and low-temperature thermal energy, thermal power, nuclear power, and solar energy utilization. At the same time, using CO2 as a circulation medium is also a direct way to utilize CO2 resources. However, pure CO2 circulation operates at high pressure, posing safety hazards in applications, and its low critical temperature requires a high-performance cooling source.

[0003] While HC (hydrocarbons), HFC (hydrofluorocarbons), and HFO (hydrofluoroolefins) refrigerants can improve energy efficiency, some refrigerants, such as HC, are flammable and explosive, resulting in poor safety; others, such as HFC, have high gas per vaporization power (GWP), failing to meet the requirements of the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol; and still others, such as HFO, have low latent heat of vaporization and poor thermal performance. Therefore, it is difficult to find a pure refrigerant that is high in performance, thermal stability, and environmentally friendly and safe.

[0004] CO2 binary mixed working fluid power cycle, through different component ratios, can have advantages such as improving energy utilization efficiency, being environmentally friendly, eliminating flammability, reducing the risk of flammability and explosion, reducing GWP value, and improving the thermodynamic performance of the working fluid.

[0005] The gas-liquid phase equilibrium of a mixed working fluid is the basis for calculating enthalpy and entropy, which are crucial for thermodynamic cycle performance analysis. Therefore, the gas-liquid phase equilibrium of a CO2 binary mixed working fluid is one of the most fundamental physical properties of the mixed working fluid and the basis for mixed working fluid cycle calculations. It reflects the pressure and temperature in the mixture system and the interrelationships between the gas and liquid phase components when the mixture is in gas-liquid equilibrium.

[0006] Currently, regarding the gas-liquid phase equilibrium of CO2 binary working fluids, the paper "Comparative Study and Prediction of Mixing Rules for Gas-Liquid Phase Equilibrium of CO2 Working Fluids," by Wu Zirui et al., *Journal of Chemical Industry and Engineering (Engineering Technology Series I), Vol. 73, No. 4, January 2022*, proposes to improve the calculation accuracy of CO2 mixed working fluid gas-liquid phase equilibrium data by using the PR equation of state combined with three mixing rules to calculate the gas-liquid phase equilibrium properties of seven CO2+HFCs / HFOs and four CO2+HCs mixed working fluids. It also proposes using a difference model to predict the gas-liquid phase equilibrium properties of CO2 mixed working fluids. However, the calculation of the gas-liquid phase equilibrium of mixed working fluids still requires a large amount of experimental data on gas-liquid phase equilibrium, which, under current conditions, consumes a significant amount of time and effort.

[0007] The paper, "A Group Contribution Method for the Gas-Liquid Equilibrium of Non-azeotropic Working Fluids," by Che Chunwen et al., *Journal of Engineering Thermophysics*, Engineering Technology II, Vol. 42, No. 12, December 2021, proposes a fugacity coefficient model based on group contributions to address the insufficient accuracy of conventional models in predicting the gas-liquid equilibrium of non-azeotropic refrigerant mixtures. This model can predict the properties of a large number of multi-component mixtures using only a few common group parameters. However, the prediction method proposed in this paper does not show high accuracy in predicting the gas-liquid equilibrium of CO2 and mixtures of hydrocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, and hydrofluoroolefins, and is not well-suited for CO2 working fluids. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is how to achieve high prediction accuracy of CO2 binary mixed working fluid gas-liquid phase equilibrium prediction while reducing the amount of experimental work.

[0009] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical means:

[0010] This invention proposes a method for predicting the functional group contribution in the gas-liquid phase equilibrium of a CO2 binary working fluid, the method comprising the following steps:

[0011] Obtain a binary working fluid containing CO2;

[0012] For a given temperature range and a liquid phase molar composition range of CO2, iterate through each temperature value within the temperature range, keeping the currently traversed temperature value unchanged, and calculate the pressure of the mixed working fluid and the gas phase molar composition of CO2 under each liquid phase molar composition within the liquid phase molar composition range of CO2 based on the cubic equation of state and the group contribution prediction model.

[0013] When all temperature values ​​within the temperature range have been traversed, the pressure of the mixed working fluid and the gas phase molar composition of CO2 at each temperature value within the temperature range are obtained.

[0014] This invention employs a group contribution prediction method, which overcomes the shortcomings of correlation models that rely on a large amount of experimental data through the interaction between groups. It eliminates the need for extensive experimental data to fit interaction parameters, thus simplifying the experimental workload and improving prediction accuracy. Under certain temperatures and any liquid phase molar fraction, it can calculate the corresponding pressure and gas phase molar composition, thereby achieving the prediction of gas-liquid phase equilibrium. Furthermore, the prediction results can be widely used for the analysis and calculation of saturated liquid pressure of CO2 mixed working fluid in thermodynamic cycles.

[0015] Furthermore, the formula for the group contribution prediction model is expressed as follows:

[0016]

[0025] Furthermore, the hydrofluoroolefin includes refrigerant R1234yf and / or refrigerant R1234ze(E).

[0026] Furthermore, this invention also proposes a device for predicting the group contribution of a CO2 binary mixed working fluid in gas-liquid phase equilibrium, the device comprising:

[0027] The acquisition module is used to acquire the CO2 binary working fluid;

[0028] The traversal calculation module is used to traverse each temperature value within a given temperature range and a liquid phase molar composition range of CO2, while keeping the currently traversed temperature value unchanged. Based on the cubic equation of state and the group contribution prediction model, it calculates the pressure of the mixed working fluid and the gas phase molar composition of CO2 under each liquid phase molar composition within the liquid phase molar composition range of CO2.

[0029] The prediction system determination module is used to obtain the pressure of the mixed working fluid and the gas phase molar composition of CO2 at each temperature value within the temperature range after all temperature values ​​within the temperature range have been traversed.

[0030] Furthermore, this invention also proposes a CO2 binary mixed working fluid gas-liquid phase equilibrium prediction device, the device including a memory and a processor; wherein, the processor reads executable program code stored in the memory to run a program corresponding to the executable program code, so as to implement the group contribution prediction method for CO2 binary mixed working fluid gas-liquid phase equilibrium as described above.

[0031] Furthermore, the present invention also proposes a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the group contribution prediction method for the gas-liquid phase equilibrium of a CO2 binary working fluid as described above.

[0032] The advantages of this invention are:

[0033] (1) The present invention adopts the group contribution prediction method. Through the interaction between groups, it overcomes the defect that the correlation model needs to rely on a large amount of experimental data, simplifies the experimental workload, and improves the prediction accuracy. Under a certain temperature and any liquid phase molar fraction, the corresponding pressure and gas phase molar composition can be calculated, thereby realizing the prediction of gas-liquid phase equilibrium. The prediction results can be widely used for the analysis and calculation of the saturated liquid pressure of CO2 mixed working fluid in thermodynamic cycle.

[0044] S30. When all temperature values ​​within the temperature range have been traversed, the pressure of the mixed working fluid and the gas phase molar composition of CO2 at each temperature value within the temperature range are obtained.

[0045] The embodiments of this invention employ a group contribution prediction method, which overcomes the shortcomings of correlation models that rely on a large amount of experimental data through the interaction between groups, simplifies the experimental workload, and improves prediction accuracy. Under certain temperatures and any liquid phase molar fraction, the corresponding pressure and gas phase molar composition can be calculated, thereby realizing the prediction of gas-liquid phase equilibrium. Moreover, the prediction results can be widely used for the analysis and calculation of saturated liquid pressure of CO2 mixed working fluid in thermodynamic cycles.

[0046] In one embodiment, the formula for the group contribution prediction model is expressed as:

[0047]

[0049] In the formula: a m b m These are the gravitational term and co-volume term of the mixed working fluid, respectively; a i b i These are the gravitational term and co-volume term of the working fluid, respectively; a ij C represents the interaction term between component i and component j of the mixed working fluid; HV C WS G represents the parameters of the cubic equation of state.

[0065] Taking CO2 / propane binary working fluid as an example, see Table 1 for the deviation between the predicted values ​​and experimental measurements of this prediction method.
