PR: Peng-Robinson. [8] uses PR in REFPROP, [10] uses PR in Aspen HYSYS. Oxyfuel: Composition is 96.78% CO2. For simulation in this study REFPROP has been used as back-end in CoolProp. PCC: Post Combustion Capture. The source uses 99.99% pure CO2 but the validation is against 100% pure CO2. The power reported from [10] is total power including refrigeration compressor power in addition to compression and pumping power. Value read from graph.
