A design method for ORCs is newly proposed to fully couple the ORC with the heat source. The heat source is characterized by the mass flow rate, inlet and outlet heat carrier fluid temperatures. Example cases were performed to study the optimal running parameters for ORCs with constraint of...

Condensation heat transfer has been studied in the past century due to its wide applications in energy and power systems. The key scientific issue is the thick liquid thickness near the tube wall along the condenser tube length. The fabricated microstructures on the inner wall are the...
