The first and the second law analyses of a 20 kWe R245fa organic Rankine cycle (ORC) with low grade temperature heat sources were numerically studied. There were three different heat sources such as hot water, saturated steam, and combined hot water/saturated steam used to supply heat at the ORC evaporator. The heat source temperature was varied…
