| Popis: | Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) can be used to convert low-grade waste heat to electricity. The working fluid employed in the ORC has a strong influence on the thermal efficiency of the system. Until now, methods for the selection of working fluids have been based on trial and error approaches which are not very effective. As a result, the motivation for the work reported in this paper is to remedy this using decision-making techniques such as TOPSIS (technique for order preference using similarity to ideal solution), which can help identify an optimal working fluid at the preliminary stage. |
