Journal Article
Li, J., Pei, G., Li, Y., & Ji, J. (2011). Evaluation of external heat loss from a small-scale expander used in organic Rankine cycle. Applied thermal engineering, 31(14-15), 2694-2701. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.applthermaleng.2011.04.039

With the scaling down of the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), the engine shaft power is not only determined by the enthalpy drop in the expansion process but also the external heat loss from the expander. Theoretical and experimental support in evaluatin... Read More about Evaluation of external heat loss from a small-scale expander used in organic Rankine cycle.

Construction and dynamic test of a small-scale organic rankine cycle (2011)
Journal Article
