By using exergy efficiency as an objective function, the performances of three different organic Rankine cycles (ORCs) systems including the basic ORC (BORC) system, the single-stage regenerative ORC (SRORC) system and the double-stage regenerative ORC (DRORC) system using six different working...

Using a novel method that couples genetic algorithm (GA) with numerical simulation, the geometric configuration for a two-dimensional slotted fin has been optimized in this paper. The objective of optimization is to maximize the heat transfer capacity of slotted fin, and minimize the pressure...
