Abstract:
Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is seen as an economical and
environmental friendly technique to waste heat recovery
(WHR) from the exhaust gases. A mathematical model of
the ORC system is developed in MATLAB Simulink and is
then coupled to the engine model in AVL boost which
simulates the working of theengine and the ORC and leads
to the computation of BSFC. Using the Simulation
results, the influence of working fluid flow rates, the
engine speed and the injection timing are studied. The
simulation results show an improvement in brake specific
fuel consumption (BSFC) to an extent of 4.5% (equivalent
to 11 kW ORC power) when the working fluid flow rate is
0.65 kg/sec and at a lower working range of 1900 to 2200
engine speeds in RPM. When the working fluid flow rate
is 0.4 kg/sec a 3% improvement in BSFC is observed at a
greater working speed. For the ORC model to work for a
higher range of engine speeds from 1300 to 2200 RPM, the
working fluid flow rate of 0.4 kg/sec is taken to be the
optimised value thereby improving the BSFC by 3%.
