The low-grade heat sources coupled by ORC (organic Rankine cycle) are categorized into two groups. For the first one, the inlet temperature and the mass flow rate are known, and the working mass of the heat source is directly discharged after being used. For the second, the heat release is...

Two modified systems based on a KCS (Kalina cycle system) 11 with a two-phase expander to substitute a throttle valve are proposed. The two-phase expander is located between the regenerator and the absorber in the B-modified cycle and between the separator and the regenerator in the C-modified...
