Thermodynamic analysis of application of organic Rankine cycle for heat recovery from an integrated DIR-MCFC with pre-reformer

Simultaneous Optimization of Working Fluid and Process for Organic Rankine Cycles Using PC-SAFT

“…It has been shown that interpretations of the parameters hold well. For example, for homologous series, linear relationships of the model parameters with chain length have been obtained. − PC-SAFT has already successfully been employed for the design of ORC systems. − For a detailed description of the PC-SAFT, the reader is referred to the original literature. ,− …”

Proposal of a combined heat and power plant hybridized with regeneration organic Rankine cycle: Energy-Exergy evaluation

“…Furthermore, the exergy destruction in each segment and the exergy efficiency of the ORC system were addressed by Kaska [11]. Vatani et al [12] used an ORC with two different configurations to recover heat from a proposed Direct Internal Reforming Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (DIR-MCFC). They reported that the overall exergy efficiency is obtained to be 54.75%.…”

Numerical investigation and thermodynamic analysis of the effect of electrolyte flow rate on performance of all vanadium redox flow batteries

“…In the next step, in order to find the optimum flow rate, the results are evaluated by thermodynamic indexes. Thermodynamic analysis offers methods to find the optimum condition of chemical plants [15,16] as well as electrochemical systems [17]. In contrast to columbic and voltage efficiencies, thermodynamic analysis can be separately applied for both charge and discharge process, which gives an insight into the irreversibilities in the process of VRFB resulting from side reactions, pressure drop, and importantly, polarizations.…”
