This paper presents the results of the application of an advanced thermodynamic model developed by the authors for the simulation of Organic Rankine Cycles (ORCs). The model allows ORC simulation both for steady and transient analysis. The expander, selected to be a scroll expander, is modeled in detail by decomposing the behavior of the fluid stream into several steps. The energy source is coupled with the system through a plate heat exchanger (PHE), which is modeled using an iterative sub-heat exchanger modeling approach. The considered ORC system uses solar thermal energy for ultralow grade thermal energy recovery. The simulation model is used to investigate the influence of ORC characteristic parameters related to the working medium, hot reservoir and component efficiencies for the purpose of optimizing the ORC system efficiency and power output. Moreover, dynamic response of the ORC is also evaluated for two scenarios, i.e. (i) supplying electricity for a typical residential user and (ii) being driven by a hot reservoir. Finally, the simulation model is used to evaluate ORC capability to meet electric, thermal and cooling loads of a single residential building, for typical temperatures of the hot water exiting from a solar collector.

In this study, thermal models for subcritical and supercritical geothermal powered organic Rankine cycles are developed to compare the performance of these cycle configurations. Both of these models consist of a detailed model for the shell and tube heat exchanger integrating the geothermal and organic Rankine cycles sides and basic thermodynamic models for the rest of the components of the cycle. In the modeling of the heat exchanger, this component was divided into sever?al zones and the outlet conditions of each zone were found applying logarithmic mean temperature difference method. Different Nusselt correlations according to the relevant phase (single, two-phase, and supercritical) were also included in this model. Using the system-level model, the effect of the source temperature on the performances of the heat exchanger and the organic Rankine cycle was assessed. These performance parameters are heat transfer surface area and pressure drop of tube side fluid for the heat exchanger, and electrical and exergetic efficiencies of the integrated organic Rankine cycles system. It was found that 44.12% more net power is generated when the supercritical organic Rankine cycle is used compared to subcritical organic Rankine cycle.

In this paper we present the implementation of a system based on organic Rankine cycle coupled to a heat discharge of an industrial process. Waste heat is used as an energy source input to the system, which uses this energy to evaporate an organic fluid and expand it in a turbine, where mechanical power is produced. The system consists of 4 processes and the heat exchanger is specially analyzed. According to the availability of heat energy, the heat exchanger was designed to achieve the maximum efficiency in the energy system. Likewise, the maximum thermal efficiency of the ORC system is calculated as a function of the available energy, the energy source temperature and the available mass flow rate. By these calculations, the working fluid and the suitable operating conditions were selected through a thermodynamic analysis.
