Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is a promising technology for converting low-grade waste heat into the electricity. This paper carries out an exergoeconomic analysis and performance optimization of a condenser for a binary mixture of vapors in the ORC system. In this model, the exergy loss due to...

This paper presents an economical evaluation and parametric optimization on subcritical ORC (organic Rankine cycle) system for recovering the low-temperature waste heat of flue gas which is released from industrial boilers. First, the effects of the PPTD (pinch point temperature difference) in...

The performance of the ORC (organic Rankine cycle) systems using zeotropic mixtures as working fluids for recovering waste heat of flue gas from industrial boiler is examined on the basis of thermodynamics and thermo-economics under different operating conditions. In order to explore the...
