Structural Optimization and Experimental Investigation of the Organic Rankine Cycle for Solar Thermal Power Generation

Více o knize

The book explores the advantages of the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) over traditional Rankine cycles, particularly in low-temperature applications. It highlights the potential of small-scale ORCs, ranging from a few kilowatts to hundreds of kilowatts, to meet residential heat and power needs. However, it addresses a significant challenge: the reduction in device efficiency and cost-effectiveness when scaling down ORCs, making it a crucial area of study in scientific and technical fields.
