Numerical Analysis of Aerodynamics and Performance of a Radial-Inflow Micro-ORC Turbine

Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) has proven to be an effective way to recover waste heat. The performance of ORC systems is profoundly affected by turbine selection, which is one of the most critical components. In this study, a numerical aerodynamic analysis of a micro-ORC turbine is carried out as an effort towards the formulation of a reduced order model (ROM) of the
