Robust and Fast Meanline Methodology for Radial Inflow Turbines with Non-ideal Gases for System Level Optimisation of Organic Rankine Cycl

Waste heat recovery aims to increase the overall system efficiency and thus, reduce emissions. One technology commonly considered is the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) which uses a refrigerant as the working fluid. For an efficient operation of the ORC, the different components, e.g., the turbine, need to be optimised considering the entire system. This paper investigates the capability of meanline modelling for
