Optimization Study on Fluids for the Gravity-Driven Organic Power Cycle

The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is efficient in using low-grade heat energy, while low pump efficiency and high pump leakage are usually serious problems. A gravity-driven organic power cycle (GDOPC) uses gravity instead of a pump to pressurize working fluid and has the potential to avoid problems a...
