Accurate thermophysical data for carbon dioxide is of great significance to simulation design

manufacturing

performance test and operation optimization equipment for supercritical carbon dioxide power generation systems. In this paper

the basic principle and research progress of typical state equations

thermal conductivity equations and viscosity equations suitable for carbon dioxide are reviewed

and the calculation accuracy of different types of equations is compared and the recommended scheme is given. Moreover

a variety of software or programs for calculating the thermophysical properties of CO2 in engineering are listed

and the models in REFPROP software are highlighted. In addition

the development trend of calculation for CO2 thermophysical property is prospected.
