This raises the question about the most appropriate working fluid for a given temperature level of the heat carrier. Furthermore, the efficiency of an ORC cycle ...

The present paper proposes a comprehensive design methodology to optimize the Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) considering a wide range of design variables as ...

Abstract and Figures. A thermodynamic screening of 31 pure component working fluids for organic Rankine cycles (ORC) is given using BACKONE equation of state.

The analysis is carried out for both recuperated and non-recuperated ORC cycle configurations and includes water-cooled as well as air-cooled condenser options.

In this study a review of working fluids selection for different applications has been conducted. This study helps in identifying the possible most suitable ...

Organic Rankine Cycles (ORCs) are identified as one of the best candidates to generate electricity from low-grade heat sources.

This article presents a second-law analysis for the use of organic Rankine cycle (ORC) to convert waste energy to power from low-grade heat sources.

This technology is a new opportunity for industries and alternative solution for clean power generation. This paper recalls ORC principles, outlines challenges ...
