Evaporator Modeling And An Optimal Control Strategy Development Of An Organic Rankine Cycle Waste Heat Recovery System For A Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Application, Dhruvang Rathod
All Dissertations
The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) has proven to be a promising technology for Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) systems in heavy duty diesel engine applications. However, due to the highly transient heat source, controlling the working fluid flow through the ORC system and maximizing the heat recovery is a challenge for real time application. To that end, this research resulted in the following main developments.
The first new development is in the area of heat exchanger modeling. The heat exchanger is a key component within the WHR system and it governs the dynamics of the complete ORC system. The heat exchanger …
