Abstract:Due to the low thermo-economic performance of solar ORC plants, several studies are ongoing to investigate the potential merits/demerits of biomass hybridization as a retrofit. Although many of such studies have examined the technical and economic viabilities of various hybrid solar-biomass concepts, due attention has not been directed to the area of their sustainability based on the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This study was aimed at investigating the potential effects of biomass hybridization on the exerge… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
