The influences of heat source temperature, the evaporator pinch point temperature difference, the expander isentropic efficiency and the cooling water temperature rise on the exergy loss distribution of subcritical ORC system are comprehensively discussed. It is found that there exists a critical value of expander isentropic efficiency and cooling water temperature rise, respectively, under certain conditions. The magnitude of critical value will affect the relative distribution of exergy loss in the expander, the evaporator and the condenser. The research results will help to better understand the characteristics of the exergy loss distribution in an ORC system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e19060256","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,6]],"date-time":"2017-06-06T10:53:09Z","timestamp":1496746389000},"page":"256","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The Exergy Loss Distribution and the Heat Transfer Capability in Subcritical Organic Rankine Cycle"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Chao","family":"He","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of New Materials and Facilities for Rural Renewable Energy, Ministry of Agriculture, Collaborative Innovation Center of Biomass Energy, College of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering, Henan Agricultural University, Zhengzhou 450002, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Youzhou","family":"Jiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of New Materials and Facilities for Rural Renewable Energy, Ministry of Agriculture, Collaborative Innovation Center of Biomass Energy, College of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering, Henan Agricultural University, Zhengzhou 450002, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chaochao","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of New Materials and Facilities for Rural Renewable Energy, Ministry of Agriculture, Collaborative Innovation Center of Biomass Energy, College of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering, Henan Agricultural University, Zhengzhou 450002, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhenfeng","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of New Materials and Facilities for Rural Renewable Energy, Ministry of Agriculture, Collaborative Innovation Center of Biomass Energy, College of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering, Henan Agricultural University, Zhengzhou 450002, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhiping","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of New Materials and Facilities for Rural Renewable Energy, Ministry of Agriculture, Collaborative Innovation Center of Biomass Energy, College of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering, Henan Agricultural University, Zhengzhou 450002, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"239","DOI":"10.1016\/S0360-5442(00)00063-3","article-title":"Design and testing of the organic Rankine cycle","volume":"26","author":"Tamamoto","year":"2001","journal-title":"Energy"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1207","DOI":"10.1016\/j.energy.2004.01.004","article-title":"Effect of working fluids on organic Rankine cycle for waste heat recovery","volume":"29","author":"Liu","year":"2004","journal-title":"Energy"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1216","DOI":"10.1016\/j.applthermaleng.2007.07.019","article-title":"Dynamic modeling and simulation of an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system for waste heat recovery","volume":"28","author":"Wei","year":"2008","journal-title":"Appl.
