Exergy-Based Efficiency Assessment of Fans vs. Isentropic Efficiency [PDF]
The efficiency definition allows us to compare two machines with each other. In general, the efficiency is defined as the ratio of usable power to the required power. This raises the question: what is the usable power?

Detailed analysis of the effect of the turbine and compressor isentropic efficiency on the thermal and exergy efficiency of a Brayton cycle [PDF]
Energy and exergy analysis of a Brayton cycle with an ideal gas is given. The irreversibility of the adiabatic processes in turbine and compressor is taken into account through their isentropic efficiencies. The net work per cycle, the thermal efficiency and the two exergy efficiencies are expressed as functions of the four dimensionless ...

Carnot cycle in practice: compensating inefficiencies of ORC expanders through thermal regeneration [PDF]
The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is a thermodynamic cycle that can operate with a hot source over a wide range of temperatures, especially with low-grade heat (below 200°C). One of the main limitations for the success of small-scale ORC cycles (few to 100

Detailed Experimental and Model-Based Analysis of a Swash-Plate Piston Expander for ORC Application
A 195 cm3 swash-plate piston expander was tested in an ORC using R245fa as working fluid. Rotational speeds ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 RPM and pressure ratios from 7 to 12 were imposed. In total, 65 steady state points were measured.
