Energy, exergy, and environmental assessment of a small-scale solar organic Rankine cycle using different organic fluids

This article presents an energetic, exergetic, and environmental (3E) analysis of a solar powered simple Rankine Organic Cycle (ORC). The ORC is simulated using three organic working fluids, such as Toluene, Cyclohexane, and Acetone, meanwhile the solar system uses thermal oil Therminol 75. The pres...
