Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper communicates detailed energy and exergy analysis of low-grade energy resource of solar-powered organic Rankine cycle (ORC) integrated with both the internal heat exchanger and open feed water heater, ORC incorporated with the internal heat exchanger, with open feed water heater and basic ORC, respectively. Results indicate that highest first law efficiency (11.9%), exergetic efficiency (51.88%) and lowest exergy destruction (1749 kW) are obtained for ORC integrated with both internal heat exchanger and open feed water heater among other considered ORCs. Moreover, zeotropic mixture (butane/R1234yf) shows better first law and exergetic efficiency and lower exergy destruction than pure fluid.
