Convection heat transfer of CO2 at supercritical pressures in a 0.27 mm diameter vertical mini-tube was investigated experimentally and numerically for inlet Reynolds numbers exceeding 4.0 × 103. The tests investigated the effects of heat flux, flow direction, buoyancy and flow acceleration on the convection heat transfer. The experimental results indicate that the flow direction, buoyancy and flow acceleration have little influence on the local wall temperature, with no deterioration of the convection heat transfer observed in either flow direction for the studied conditions. The heat transfer coefficient initially increases with increasing heat flux and then decreases with further increases in the heat flux for both upward and downward flows. These phenomena are due to the variation of the thermophysical properties, especially cp. The numerical results correspond well with the experimental data using several turbulence models, especially the Realizable k–ε turbulence model.
