In this study, two different cycle systems on
the base of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) have been designed for heat recovery
from the industrial waste fluids at the low temperature to generate electricity
using Engineering Equation Solver (EES).The designed cycles are Simple Organic Rankine
Cycle (S-ORC) and Regenerative Organic Rankine Cycle (R-ORC). Waste fluid input
temperature and mass flow rate are fixed in each cycle. Organic working fluids
such as isopentane, isobutane, R134a, R123, R245fa, R22, R13, propane and R600
have been investigated. In order to detect the optimum working fluid, first (T1K)
and second law of thermodynamics (T2K) values have been analyzed for each
fluid. Finally, our study demonstrated that optimum fluids have been determined
for different types of cycles and fluid pressure ranges.

30.03.2021-Beginning with our April 2021 (26/1) issue, in accordance with the new criteria of TR-Dizin, the Declaration of Conflict of Interest and the Declaration of Author Contribution forms fulfilled and signed by all authors are required as well as the Copyright form during the initial submission of the manuscript. Furthermore two new sections, i.e. ‘Conflict of Interest’ and ‘Author Contribution’, should be added to the manuscript. Links of those forms that should be submitted with the initial manuscript can be found in our 'Author Guidelines' and 'Submission Procedure' pages. The manuscript template is also updated. For articles reviewed and accepted for publication in our 2021 and ongoing issues and for articles currently under review process, those forms should also be fulfilled, signed and uploaded to the system by authors.
