An Effective Method for Working Fluid Design of Organic Rankine Cycle

This paper addresses an effective method for the selection and design of optimal working fluids organic Rankine cycle (ORC) based on quantitative fluid rules, aiming to reduce complexity improve calculation efficiency model. In proposed method, critical properties given heat sources are first explored summarized relationship obtained by existing research simulations. Based concept substitution, pure then adopted target mixture solving a modified computer-aided molecular-mixture (CAMD) model ratio r pressure temperature is also strictly constrained ensure better fluid. The component composition are, thus, determined simultaneously. Results showed that both designed have performance than ones rules. targeted enables one achieve at least similar systematic exergy in ORC featuring properties. application finally verified via practical case study.
