Assessing sustainable operational conditions of a bottoming organic Rankine cycle using zeotropic mixtures: An energy-emergy approach [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 In this work, an Organic Rankine Cycle system is used to produce electricity from the waste heat of an internal combustion engine (ICE). The toluene, and cyclohexane, are the selected pure fluids to be compared with the zeotropic mixtures.
