The present paper focuses both on the thermodynamic and on the economic optimization of
a small scale ORC in waste heat recovery application. A sizing model of the ORC is …

Transition between nucleate and film boiling potentially causes dramatic temperature
changes during fluxcontrolled operations, which may lead to catastrophic equipment …

Recent interest in small-scale solar thermal combined heat and power (CHP) power systems
has coincided with demand growth for distributed electricity supplies in areas poorly served …

Experimental heat transfer and isothermal pressure drop data for single-phase water flows
in a plate heat exchanger (PHE) with chevron plates are presented. In a single-pass U-type …

The objective of this paper is to develop a thermo-economic design methodology for an
Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) based on the specific investment cost (SIC), taking into …

The thermal performance of the triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structured heat
exchangers (HEs) is highly related to their cell morphology. Unfortunately, current research …

This thesis contributes to the knowledge and the characterization of small-scale Organic
Rankine Cycles (ORC). It is based on experimental data, thermodynamic models and case …

Corrugated plate heat exchangers have larger heat transfer surface area and increased
turbulence level due to the corrugations. In this study, experimental heat transfer data are …
