The LCA (life-cycle assessment) was applied to evaluate EI (the environmental impact) of ORCPW (organic Rankine cycle power-plant for waste-heat-recovery) in this paper. The model of LCA on the ORCPW was established. The life-cycle of ORCPW was divided into construction, operation and...

A theoretical formula is proposed to calculate the OET (optimal evaporation temperature) of subcritical ORC (organic Rankine cycle) based on thermodynamic theory when the net power output is selected as the objective function. The OETs of 22 working fluids including wet, isentropic and dry...
