This paper presents a review of the organic Rankine cycle and supercritical Rankine cycle for the conversion of low-grade heat into electrical power, as well as selection criteria of potential working fluids, screening of 35 working fluids for the two cycles and analyses of the influence of fluid properties on cycle performance. The thermodynamic and [...]

Hollow fiber sorbents in rapid thermal swing mode, packed bed solid sorbents in thermal swing mode, hollow fiber membranes, monoethanolamine-based liquid amines, and chilled ammonia CO2 sorption systems are compared on an energetic basis for CO2 capture from coal-fired power plants. The systems are compared on an intrinsic heat and auxiliary basis both with and [...]
