Modeling of an Organic Rankine Cycle Waste Heat Recovery system for automotive engine applications

The remarkable investments made by manufacturers over the last few decades have contributed to improving the performance of internal combustion engines in every aspect: lower polluting emissions, greater specific power and thermal efficiency. Despite this, on an average, about 40% of the thermal pow...
