Studies and applications of organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems are increasing in recent
years because of the advantages of them on the recovery of low temperature heat sources …

The gas dynamics of single-phase nonreacting fluids whose thermodynamic states are close
to vapor-liquid saturation, close to the vapor-liquid critical point, or in supercritical conditions …

Previous investigations suggest the power output from waste-heat recovery organic Rankine
cycle (ORC) systems could be enhanced by up to 30% by operating with two-phase …

This paper investigates the design and thermodynamic optimisation of both sub-and
transcritical organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power systems featuring radial turbines via …

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 isentropic exponent is one of the most important properties affecting gas dynamics.
Nonetheless, its effect on turbine performance is not well known. This paper discusses a …

Radial inflow turbines, characterized by a low specific speed, are a candidate architecture
for the supercritical CO2 Brayton cycle at small scale, ie, less than 5 MW. Prior cycle studies …

Flows in the close proximity of the vapour–liquid saturation curve and critical point are
examined for supersonic turbine cascades, where an expansion occurs through a …

The present article investigates the effects of a BZT (Bethe–Zel'dovich–Thompson) dense
gas (FC-70) on the development of turbulent compressible mixing layers at three different …

Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) turbogenerators are the most viable option to convert
sustainable energy sources in the low-to-medium power output range (from tens of kWe to …
