Project Description

A main objective of the project continuation is to enrich the results already achieved for the use of zeotropic mixtures in ORC power generation from heat sources of 150 °C to 350 °C . Further prospective mixtures shall be studied as well as a supercritical operation. Experiments shall be performed to measure the heat transfer of selected mixtures in finned tubes. Data will be compared to theoretical correlations. Finally a low-power turbine will implemented to validate results and to evaluate the overall system.
