Detailed Design: Rankine-Cycle Power System with Organic-Based Working Fluid and Reciprocating Expander for Automobile Propulsion. Volume I. Technical Report.

摘要

The system is based on use of an organic-based working fluid with reciprocating expander. The working fluid used is Fluorinol-85, a mixture of 85mole percent trifluorinol and 15mole percent water. The detailed,optimized design of the system including packaging of the complete system in the reference car,the 1972Ford Galaxie is described. The results of experimental development in several critical areas are also presented. The system is designed to provide performance approximately equivalent to use of a 351cubic inch displacement internal combustion engine in the reference car. (Author)
