An organic Rankine cycle (ORC) machine is similar to a conventional steam cycle energy
conversion system, but uses an organic fluid such as refrigerants and hydrocarbons instead …

Power production from low grade heat and waste heat does not only mitigate environmental
impact but also improve energy efficiency and reduce energy cost. The type and design of …

The Rankine cycle is considered the most common and competitive power generation cycle
to produce electricity from solar thermal energy. This paper reviews the work done on the …

Various Rankine cycle architectures for single fluids and other improved versions operating
