Carnot cycle in practice: compensating inefficiencies of ORC expanders through thermal regeneration
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 kWe) is the relatively low isentropic efficie...
