Review of Research on Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Axial Flow Compressors by Yong Tian, Dexi Chen, Yuming Zhu, Peng Jiang, Bo Wang, Xiang Xu, Xiaodi Tang

“…As for the experimental investigation, so far, it has been publicly shown that only the University of Notre Dame has conducted an axial-flow compressor experimental test, for the first stage of a 10 MW sCO₂ multistage axial-flow compressor. Although the measured efficiency is higher than that of all known sCO₂ centrifugal compressors, the inlet conditions evidently deviate from the critical point, limiting the applicability of the results to sCO₂ power cycles. …”
