Predicting the optimum design of single stage axial expanders in ORC systems: Is there a single efficiency map for different working fluids?

摘要

The variety of decision variables involved in the design of Organic Rankine Cycles (ORCs) and equipment still open opportunities to enhance efficiency and performance in the recovery of low grade and waste heat in spite of the high number of studies already available in the literature and the rapidly growing number of existing applications.
