Examination of the expander leaving loss in variable organic Rankine cycle operation (2012)
Journal Article
Li, J., Pei, G., Li, Y., Wang, D., & Ji, J. (2013). Examination of the expander leaving loss in variable organic Rankine cycle operation. Energy Conversion and Management, 65, 66-74. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2012.06.023

The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) favorably operates at low temperature. It differs significantly from the steam Rankine cycle in fluid enthalpy drop during expansion and reaction to change in condensation temperature. In current method for ORC-based e...

A novel organic thermodynamic cycle on the use of gravity for pressurization (2012)
Journal Article
Li, J., Pei, G., & Ji, J. (2012). A novel organic thermodynamic cycle on the use of gravity for pressurization. Kung Cheng Je Wu Li Hsueh Pao/Journal of Engineering Thermophysics, 33(5), 729-734

Compared with water pump used in the steam Rankine cycle, pump for the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) has several disadvantages such as great difficulty in manufacture, low efficiency, easily-invited cavitation and high cost. A novel organic fluid therm... Read More about A novel organic thermodynamic cycle on the use of gravity for pressurization.

Energetic and exergetic investigation of an organic Rankine cycle at different heat source temperatures (2012)
Journal Article
Li, J., Pei, G., Li, Y., Wang, D., & Ji, J. (2012). Energetic and exergetic investigation of an organic Rankine cycle at different heat source temperatures. Energy, 38(1), 85-95. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2011.12.032

The energetic and exergetic performance of an updated ORC (organic Rankine cycle) is investigated. The thermal efficiencies of the ORC at different heat source temperatures of about 100, 90, 80, and 70°C are explored. The thermodynamic irreversibilit...
