This article reviews recent advances in the understanding of turbulent flows of non-ideal
gases through the use of high-fidelity direct and large eddy simulations. In particular, the …

The Organic Flash Cycle (OFC) is proposed as a vapor power cycle that could potentially
improve the efficiency with which high and intermediate temperature finite thermal sources …

Siloxanes are usually used in the high temperature organic Rankine cycle (ORC) for engine
waste heat recovery, but their flammability limits the practical application. Besides, blending …

This paper presents the extension of the open source SU2 software suite to perform
turbulent Non-Ideal Compressible Fluid-Dynamics (NICFD) simulations. A new built-in …

Supersonic expansions of a molecularly complex vapor occurring within the non-ideal
thermodynamic region in the close proximity of liquid-vapor saturation curve were …

This article presents the continuation of the work on the development of technical equations
of state for linear and cyclic siloxanes already documented in this journal. The fluids …

A novel blow-down wind tunnel is currently being commissioned at the Politecnico di Milano,
Italy, to investigate real-gas behavior of organic fluids operating at subsonic-supersonic …

A thermal stability test-rig for organic Rankine cycles working fluids was designed and
commissioned at the Laboratory of Compressible-fluid dynamics for Renewable Energy …

In this paper, we investigate the real gas flows which occur within organic Rankine cycle
(ORC) turbines. A new method for the design of nozzles operating with dense gases is …

Equations of state in terms of the Helmholtz energy are presented for octamethyltrisiloxane
and decamethyltetrasiloxane. The restricted databases in the literature are augmented by …
