Identification of new working fluids for use in high-temperature Rankine cycles
Abstract
A computer program was developed to model different working fluids in a Rankine heat engine with boiler temperature (heat source) of 1000 K, condenser temperature (heat sink) of 400 K, and turbine and pump isentropic efficiencies of 85 percent. The program has been used to simulate the performance of approximately 90 compounds (the majority of which have not been previously considered for use as working fluids).
