Summary

The thermodynamic performance of a variety of working fluids circulated in an ideal organic Rankine cycle engine has been evaluated with the aid of the Iwai-Margerum-Lu equation of state. Two merit number indices were also calculated to represent the inherent heat-transfer capability of the working media at evaporation and condensation, respectively. The result indicated that the thermophysical capability of compounds correlates with the fluid's normal boiling point, critical pressure and molecular weight. It also showed that R123 could be one of the most favourable ozone-safe working fluids for the organic Rankine cycle energy-recovery system.
