Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems are a class of distributed power-generation systems
that are suitable for the efficient conversion of low-to-medium temperature thermal energy to …

Abstract Organic Rankine Cycles transform low-temperature heat from sustainable sources
into electrical power. Exploiting the full potential of a low-temperature heat source requires …

In this paper, we develop a framework for designing optimal organic Rankine cycle (ORC)
power systems that simultaneously considers both thermodynamic and economic objectives …

The wider adoption of organic Rankine cycle (ORC) technology for power generation or
cogeneration from renewable or recovered waste-heat in many applications can be …

Semi-empirical quantum chemical approaches are known to compromise accuracy for the
feasibility of calculations on huge molecules. However, the need for ultrafast calculations in …

A mixed-integer non-linear programming optimisation framework is formulated and
developed that combines a molecular-based, group-contribution equation of state, SAFT-γ …

The CO 2 transcritical power cycle is an important method for recovering waste heat. The
cycle performance can be further improved by using CO 2-based mixtures instead of pure …

The right molecules are often the key to overall process performance and economics of
many energy and chemical conversion processes, such as, eg, solvents for CO2 capture or …
