Aspen Plus simulation of a low capacity organic Rankine cycle heated by solar energy

In this work, the performance of the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) of 1 kW output power was studied using Aspen Plus software simulation. In order to improve the performance of the ORC, eight organic fluids were tested as working fluid. The operational parameters such as working temperature, pressure...
