This study analyses the integrated characteristics of a CPS (combined power system) consisting of a topping diesel engine and a bottoming ORC (organic Rankine cycle). Two models (an integrated and a cascaded CPS model) for the same CPS have been developed based on the experimental data. The...

Poisson regression is important in the analysis of longitudinal count data. However, the variance of responses is often much greater than the sample mean in practice, contradicting the Poisson model. To solve this overdispersion problem, negative binomial regression model was introduced by...

Air-cooled power plants have been extensively applied in the dry areas with the ACSC (air-cooled steam condensers) to reject the waste heat from the turbine exhaust. However, the performance of the relevant condensers is sensitive to the meteorological conditions due to its exposing in the...

The thermal matching performance analysis is conducted for a geothermal organic Rankine cycle system using zeotropic mixtures as working fluids. The constant isentropic efficiency is replaced by internal efficiency of an axial flow turbine with given size for each condition, and the zeotropic...

This study proposes and investigates a novel VCES (Vehicle power and cooling/heating Cogeneration Energy System), including a topping vehicle engine subsystem, and a bottoming waste-heat recovery subsystem which uses the zeotropic working fluid. The various grade exhaust and coolant waste-heat...
