The subcritical Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) with 28 working fluids for waste heat recovery is discussed in this paper. The effects of the temperature of the waste heat, the critical temperature of working fluids and the pinch temperature difference in the evaporator on the optimal evaporation temperature (OET) of the ORC have been investigated. The second law efficiency of the system is regarde...

This paper shows how formal characterizations of causality and of the method of comparative statics, long used in economics, thermodynamics and other domains, can be applied to clarify and make rigorous the qualitative causal calculus recently proposed by de Kleer and Brown (1984). The formalization shows exactly what assumptions are required to carry out causal analysis of a system of interdep...

This paper is about the analysis 0f the liquid discharge by falling film within a distillation tube. Specifically about some flow rates that can be used in this process, when we talk about film ́s discharge and maintenance. This aim of this paper is to study through simulations in CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) what influence the feeding flow rate has on the film ́s formation, its stability a...

The world is looking towards producing products which consume less power without compromising on quality of life. The increase in use of refrigeration and air conditioning appliances are contributing to global warming. The world wide temperatures are shooting up at an increasing rate. This paper presents a design of roll bond evaporator as the heat exchanger to provide cooling in room air condi...
