Being an energy-saving project with great development potential, Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is becoming one of the research hotspots in recent years. However, there is little research about the waste heat recovery with Organic Rankine Cycle on ships as yet. In this paper, the marine diesel engine waste heat recovery system with Organic Rankine Cycle was designed and analyzed. Isopentane was used as working fluid in the Organic Rankine Cycle. The conditions for the system to recover marine diesel engine waste heat were given, and its schematic diagram was provided. Finally, the ORC turbine which is the most important components of the system was designed. The numerical simulations of the ORC turbine were carried out by using the CFD program. The operation performance and flow field were analyzed.

Firstly, this paper briefly introduces the Utilization status on marine diesel engine waste heat recovery. Combined with the characteristics of waste heat caused by marine diesel engine and technology of organism Rankine cycle, the paper designs a new waste heat recovery system for marine diesel engine based on organism Rankine cycle, And through researching the changes of temperature between marine diesel engine waste heat and the system working medium, pure organism R123, R245fa or R134a are selected as system's cycle fluid because of environmentally friendly and cycle performance more appropriate. The system application of economy on the ship are analyzed in the theoretical calculation.

Highly increased fuel prices and the need for greenhouse emissions reduction from diesel engines used in marine engines in compliance with International Maritime Organization (IMO) on the strict regulations and guidelines for the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) make diesel engine exhaust gas heat recovery technologies attractive. The recovery and utilization of waste heat not only conserves fuel, but also reduces the amount of waste heat and greenhouse gases dumped to the environment .The present paper deals with the use of exergy as an efficient tool to measure the quantity and quality of energy extracted from waste heat exhaust gases in a marine diesel engine. This analysis is utilized to identify the sources of losses in useful energy within the components of the system for three different configurations of waste heat recovery system considered. The second law efficiency and the exergy destroyed of the components are investigated to show the performance of the system in order to select the most efficient waste heat recovery system. The effects of ambient temperature are also investigated in order to see how the system performance changes with the change of ambient temperature. The results of the analysis show that in all of the three different cases the boiler is the main source of exergy destruction and the site of dominant irreversibility in the whole system it accounts alone for (31-52%) of losses in the system followed by steam turbine and gas turbine each accounting for 13.5-27.5% and 5.5-15% respectively. Case 1 waste heat recovery system has the highest exergetic efficiency and case 3 has the least exergetic efficiency.
