Investigation on heat transfer characteristics and flow performance of methane at supercritical pressures

Heat transfer and flow characteristics of cryogenic methane in regenerative cooling system at supercritical pressures has been determined numerically. Thermo-physical properties of supercritical methane are discussed. In addition to that, previous studies on experiment and simulation are reviewed. A...
