With hundreds of ORC power systems already in operation and the market growing at a fast pace, this is an active and engaging area of scientific research and technical development.

The Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is named for its use of an organic, high molecular mass fluid with a liquid-vapor phase change, or boiling point, occurring at a lower temperature than the water-steam phase change.

Multiobjective optimization studies aimed at better efficiency, lower cost, and a lower environmental impact are also discussed in this book.

Considering this, the book has incorporated different chapters on heat transfer phenomena, analytical and experimental heat transfer investigations, heat transfer enhancement and applications.

This book provides a thorough description of actual, working aerodynamic design and analysis systems, for both axial-flow and radial-flow turbines.

Beginning with a general summary of thermodynamics, optimization techniques and optimization methods for thermal components, the book goes on to describe how to determine the most appropriate design parameters for more complex energy ...

This book presents the application of machine learning and deep learning techniques for renewable energy system modeling, forecasting, and optimization for efficient system design.

Exergetic Analysis

The book begins with an overview of the phase diagrams of fluid mixtures (fluid = liquid, gas, or supercritical state), which can show an astonishing variety when elevated pressures are taken into account; phenomena like retrograde ...

This guide has been developed for Asian companies who want to improve energy efficiency through Cleaner Production and for stakeholders who want to help them.
