Analysis of a Medium Temperature Organic Rankine Cycle for Various Mixtures of Organic Fluids
Abstract: AbstractA blend of 70% alkane and 30% carbon dioxide (molar composition) possess low global warming potential, zero ozone depletion potential and are non-flammable. These mixtures are reported to be the potential working fluids for power generation in a transcritical condensing cycle. In this paper, detailed thermodynamic analysis is performed for the medium temperature organic Rankine cycle (ORC) with the mixtures of CO2 with propane or isobutene or isopentane. Among all …
