Integrated Design of Process and Working Fluids for Organic Rankine Cycles by Dr Jan David Ph.D. Scheffczyk

This thesis presents systematic extensions of the continuous-molecular targeting framework for the integrated design of working fluids and ORC processes. In the first step of the proposed method, a simultaneous optimization of working fluid and process allows for the identification of an optimal hypothetical working fluid. The second step of the method is used to search for real working fluids that lead to similar performance.
