In this paper, a new combined system is proposed for recovering thermal energy at medium temperature using cascade organic Rankine cycle to feed refrigeration cycle. Energy and exergy analysis applied the determine its performance different working fluids under same operating conditions taking into account effect of some parameters selection on performance. The pair fluid

The use of nanorefrigerants in Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) units is believed to affect the cycle environment performance, but backed with very few relevant studies. For this purpose, a life assessment (LCA) has been performed for ORC system using nanorefrigerant, material and energy input, characteristic indicators comprehensive index environmental impact, total consumption payback time (BPBT) ...

Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) enables power generation from lowto medium temperature heat sources. In an ORC, the organic medium shows different performances for different heat source temperatures. For a range of heat source temperatures, one temperature can be always identified corresponding to the best thermal match between the heat transfer fluid and working fluid. This temperature is defined ...

In this paper a PI based adaptive control system is developed to control an organic Rankine cycle power plant. In particular, the control of the turbine speed during the transient between the normal operation mode of the system (connected to the grid) and the islandmode (connected to a stand-alone load) is of main concern. A control algorithm suitable for the implementation on a programmable lo...

The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) heat engine constitutes a very promising technology to recover waste heat (for instance from industry or from internal combustion engines) but also to exploit renewable energy sources (such as solar, biomass or geothermal energy). This seminar will emphasize how modeling and simulation tools could be used during the design stage of an ORC system in order to best ...

Marine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is a large (660 Pg C) reactive carbon reservoir that mediates the oceanic microbial food web and interacts with climate on both short and long timescales. Carbon isotopic content provides information on the DOC source via δ(13)C and age via Δ(14)C. Bulk isotope measurements suggest a microbially sourced DOC reservoir with two distinct components of differin...
