Two-phase expansion is the process where a fluid undergoes a pressure drop through or in
the liquid–vapor dome. This operation was historically avoided. However, currently it is …

One of the challenges of turbines in the last stages is the condensation of the water droplets
of the steam flow; resisting against the droplets condensation could be one of the negative …

Wet-to-dry organic Rankine cycles could generate 30% higher power outputs in the
temperature range of 150 to 250° C compared to existing single-phase cycles. Since the …

Efficiency is a crucial factor for power cycles. Generally, in the same temperature range, the
cycle efficiency for a basic organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is higher than a similar trilateral …

Low-temperature solar collectors coupled with thermal energy storage can enable stable
and carbon-free energy production. This work proposes a fully integrated organic Rankine …

Flashing flows of organic fluids find application in various energy systems, but the available
modelling approaches rely on semi-empirical correlations calibrated for other fluids and …

Wet-to-dry expansion within the nozzle guide vane of an ORC turbine has been proposed as
a means to improve the power output of ORC systems for waste-heat recovery (< 250° C) …

Improving the flexible and deep peak shaving capacity of combined heat and power (CHP)
plant under full operating conditions to facilitate renewable energy consumption is the main …

The thermal efficiency of the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is higher than the trilateral flash
cycle (TFC) using normal dry working fluids. On the contrary, the thermal efficiency of TFC …

Definition Limaçon rotary machines are the heart of power generation systems, especially
small-and micro-scale ones. These machines are the prime movers that play the main role in …
