AB  - Energy systems are undergoing rapid change as the world responds to climate change. Many policymakers may ask, what will be the next great energy source for a low-carbon future? All indications so far point to hydrogen energy. Although it is anticipated that costs will likely fall as the hydrogen production scale increases, it may be reported that the high technology costs remain a barrier to the widespread shift towards hydrogen. This paper presents hydrogen production costs for various production methods for different regions across the world, including the USA, the Middle East, Europe, India, and Canada. The costs of hydrogen production from biomass gasification, coal gasification, and natural gas reforming are compared, revealing the varying costs across different regions. Moreover, the production of green hydrogen from renewable energy sources is also presented, and compared with conventional methods. It highlights that while green hydrogen is environmentally sustainable, its production remains cost-intensive compared to integrated processes. Notably, the Middle East and India demonstrate the most economical production costs for both electrolysis and nuclear-based processes, while Europe shows the highest costs. The information presented in this paper could be helpful for researchers and policymakers to make informed decisions regarding the necessary aspects that still need to be investigated, to help with the transition into a hydrogen energy future.

AB  - Of major interest, especially in city environments, and increasingly inside vehicles or industrial plants, is the drive to reduce human exposure to nitrogen oxides (NOx). This trend has drawn increasing attention to filtration, which has developed remarkably owing to the capabilities of recently developed mathematical models and novel filter concepts. This paper reports on the study of the kinetic modelling of adsorption of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), collected from the tailpipe of a diesel engine, reacting to calcium nitrate salt (Ca(NO3)2) on a surface flow filter consisting of a coating of fine ground limestone or marble (CaCO3) in combination with micro-nanofibrillated cellulose (MNFC) acting as binder and humectant applied onto a multiply recycled newsprint substrate. The coating and substrate are both porous, but on different pore size scales, with the coating having significantly lower permeability. To maximise gas-coating contact, therefore, the coating deposition is pixelated, achieved by pin coating. An axially dispersed gaseous plug flow model (dispersion model) was used to simulate the transport within the coating pore network structure, following earlier flow modelling studies, and a kinetic reaction model was used to examine NO2 to NO3− conversion in correlation with experimental results. Modelling results indicate a 60.38% conversion of exposed NO2 gas to Ca(NO3)2 under the specific conditions applied, with an absolute relative error between the predicted and experimentally estimated value being 0.81%. The model additionally enabled a prediction of effects of changing parameters over a limited perturbation range, thus assisting in predicting filter element consumption, with attention given to the active component CaCO3 surface as a function of particle size in relation to the gas contact exchange, promoting the reaction over time. It is intended that the Ca(NO3)2 formed from the reaction can go on to be used as a value-added fertiliser, thus contributing to circular economy. Graphical abstract: (Figure presented.)

AB  - The aim of this study was to examine the possibility of using a green organic solvent, dimethyl adipate (DMA), as a separation agent in the extraction of different alcohols from aqueous solutions. For that purpose, the liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE) of four ternary systems were analytically determined at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure using stirred and thermo-regulated cells: {water + methanol + dimethyl adipate (DMA)}, {water + ethanol + DMA}, {water + 1-propanol + DMA}, {water + 2-propanol + DMA}. Phase diagrams for these four ternary systems were obtained by determining a binodal curve and tie-lines data using a visual cloud-point method, but also gas chromatography. Distribution coefficients and separation factors were calculated for the immiscibility region. Hand and Othmer-Tobias correlations were used to examine the reliability of the tie-line data. In addition, the experimental ternary LLE data were correlated with the UNIversal QUAsiChemical (UNIQUAC) activity coefficient models. The obtained results showed that DMA is a suitable candidate for the extraction of methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, and 2-propanol from water. With some alcohols, this potential is more noticeable than with others. The potential of DMA as a separation agent is increasing in the following sequence: methanol < ethanol < 2-propanol < 1-propanol, and that also could be noticed from the selectivity values that also increase in this sequence. The UNIQUAC model proved as successful in correlating the LLE data.

AB  - Polymer-bonded magnets are a class of composite material that combines the magnetic properties of metal particles and the molding possibility of a polymeric matrix. This class of materials has shown huge potential for various applications in industry and engineering. Traditional research in this field has so far mainly focused on mechanical, electrical or magnetic properties of the composite, or on particle size and distribution. This examination of synthesized Nd-Fe-B-epoxy composite materials includes the mutual comparison of impact toughness, fatigue, and the structural, thermal, dynamic-mechanical, and magnetic behavior of materials with different content of magnetic Nd-Fe-B particles, in a wide range from 5 to 95 wt.%. This paper tests the influence of the Nd-Fe-B content on impacting the toughness of the composite material, as this relationship has not been tested before. The results show that impact toughness decreases, while magnetic properties increase, along with increasing content of Nd-Fe-B. Based on the observed trends, selected samples have been analyzed in terms of crack growth rate behavior. Analysis of the fracture surface morphology reveals the formation of a stable and homogeneous composite material. The synthesis route, the applied methods of characterization and analysis, and the comparison of the obtained results can provide a composite material with optimum properties for a specific purpose.

AB  - This work investigates the design of optimal tri-generation systems for heat, power and water production via multiple fuel selections, thus aiming to reduce the reliance on fossil fuel consumption. Generally speaking, tri-generation systems are associated with high levels of carbon dioxide emissions to meet energy and water production requirements. Hence, a shift towards more renewable energy sources can assist in partially reducing the environmental damage associated with standard tri-generation operations. Since the switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy is very costly, hybrid energy systems were found an appealing solution that could allow a gradual reduction of carbon emissions. Hence, the novelty aspect of this work is the ability to generate cost-effective tri-generation systems that incorporate optimal hybrid energy selections and utility generation routes, subject to specific net carbon reduction targets (NCRT). As such, four different energy sources (natural gas, biomass, municipal solid waste (MSW) and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) were investigated, together with five different routes for steam expansion and electricity production using a Mixed Integer Nonlinear Program (MINLP), including technical, economic and environmental constraints. In order to study the effect of different fuel selections, energy production operations, and water production routes on the performance of tri-generation systems, data from three different desalination plants (located in USA, Cyprus and Qatar) were used. The results obtained show that energy requirements for desalination greatly affects the order of selection of energy sources. In general, biomass was identified as the best alternative to replace natural gas at NCRT values below 40%. On the other hand, MSW incineration using grate-fired and fluidized bed boilers became more desirable for steam production when higher NCRT values were utilized. The water production costs (WPC) of a standalone CSP system integrated with each of the studied plants, having a feedwater salinity of 33.5, 41.8 and 45 g/L, were estimated at 1.739, 2.233 and 2.67 USD/m3, respectively. In addition, an average incremental increase of 5.5% in the WPC has been observed during seasons that provide the lowest solar availability values.

AB  - This paper introduces solute-solvent interactions onto a universal transport modeling approach that has been recently introduced for predicting RO membrane performance. The mathematical modeling framework utilizes chemical potential calculations rather than concentrations, and is based on the standard solution diffusion theory. Accounting for solute-solvent interactions were all based on a Maxwell-Stefan approach for reduced motion of particles in membrane pores. Overall, the proposed model is very effective in generating all the necessary parameters, especially for estimating the water permeability, as well as the various permeabilities associated with both, monovalent and divalent types of ion in the solution. Moreover, the effects of osmotic pressure on the respective species and water flux can be estimated. The proposed RO model was found to be very efficient in predicting the performance of various types of membranes, and its performance has been validated against available membrane performance data obtained from various sources. Since the attained model predictions are in very good agreement with actual membrane performance data, the proposed model can be considered as a very effective tool for use in commercial process simulator platforms.

AB  - This work presents a novel Mixed-Integer Non-linear Program (MINLP) that accounts for the presence of multiple fuels in tri-generation systems. The key novelty of this work pertains to the use of hybrid energy systems in tri-generation processes, which are associated with multiple energy sources. In this work, different fuel sources such as natural gas, biomass and municipal solid waste (MSW) have been considered in the model, together with concentrated solar power (CSP), as a renewable energy option. The use of the aforementioned energy sources in tri-generation systems for heat, power and water production, were assessed simultaneously by the proposed model. CSP was utilized as the sole renewable energy option, due to the ease of obtaining both heat and power from such systems. The design of optimal tri-generation systems has been studied using the proposed model, under different conditions for carbon reduction. The model has been formulated using multi-period considerations, so as to account for seasonal variations. Moreover, the effect of several different operating parameters on the land use requirements of such systems were also investigated. The results indicate that despite the high cost of CSP, it was still found to be a highly desirable choice in the presence of carbon taxation. The water production cost of a hybrid natural gas-CSP tri-generation system was estimated at 1.277 USD/m3. This value could be 16% higher in the presence of carbon taxation. Additionally, biomass and solid waste options were found to be very promising energy outlets for desalination, especially in winter and fall seasons which have the lowest DNI values. The selection of these energy streams is also highly affected by the presence of carbon taxation policy. On the other hand, the incorporation of these two energy streams along with CSP could result in a fully local energy independent system with a water production cost of 1.44 and 1.537 USD/m3, respectively.

AB  - A novel surface-flow filter has been designed to take advantage of a combination of both diffusion and lateral flow permeation, since active coatings, even if porous, tend to be far less permeable than through-flow constructs. The formation of a continuous coating layer virtually excludes any fluid transport into the coating other than by planar diffusion for gases or capillarity for liquids. This study considers the additional potential advantage of creating a pixelated/patterned coating, applied using a pin coater to form printed dots onto a highly permeable cellulose fibrous paper-like substrate. The coating-fine particulate calcium carbonate combined with micro-nanofibrillated cellulose as binder and humectant-reacts on exposure to NO2 gas to form calcium nitrate. Experimental results show an effective doubling of nitrate-forming efficiency using pixelated coating compared with a reference continuous layer coating. To establish an understanding of the comparative mechanisms of gas-coating contact, computational fluid dynamic modelling is used to generate surface pressure profiles combined with a pore network model of the coating to estimate theoretical fluid permeability and gas diffusion coefficients. Although pressure-driven permeation was calculated to be approximately two orders of magnitude less than the diffusive flow, it is concluded that patterned aerofoil pressure differential effects can reduce the impact of surface stagnant layering and so aid fluid transfer, boosting the diffusive transport, which in turn delivers greater contact efficiency based on the increased accessibility to the active coating.

AB  - Absorption Refrigeration (ABR) has been widely considered as an environmentally benign cooling process. ABR employs a working fluid (WF) mixture to extract heat for cooling achieved through a series of phase changes within different equipment. Organic fluids are promising WF candidates as they avoid disadvantages of other types of fluids, such as crystallization, toxicity etc. Current studies use very few selection criteria (e.g. COP), while they completely omit the structure and operation of the rectifier after the generator and its impact on ABR performance. Only very few fluids are considered in each study, while sustainability-related fluid indicators are never considered. Our aim is to assess the performance of numerous organic WF using a systematic approach considering multiple different indicators pertaining to operating ABR performance and fluid sustainability, while employing a properly modelled rectifier in a single effect ABR. The latter includes the number of separation stages and the distillate purity as decision parameters together with the mixture composition and mass flowrates of its components, in an optimum screening formulation. A multi-criteria assessment method identifies a Pareto front that highlights performance trade-offs among important indicators. The latter include the ABR COP and exergertic efficiency, the number of stripping stages, the mass flowrates of the mixture components, the cycle high pressure and the stripping distillate-to-feed ratio. Sustainability indicators include toxicity, flammability, biodegradation probability ozone depletion and global warming potentials. The proposed approach is illustrated for 36 mixtures containing HCFC and HFC refrigerants with various absorbents and the results are compared with NH3/H2O, which is a commercially used ABR fluid. It is observed that R32-DMF (dimethylformamide) exhibits good performance trade-offs.

The simplifications adopted by the classical theory for solution-diffusion mechanisms have been found to be quite lacking when it comes to predicting the separation of multicomponent mixtures. The presented model accounts for multicomponent computations through the application of thermodynamic property models, as a means to predict the various interactions amongst the species that are present in solution. The developed transport model is relatively easy to implement, and can be utilized alongside existing equipment and thermodynamic property models. The applicability of the model presented in this paper has been tested on three different case studies, including a case that investigates single component behavior and a case that investigates multicomponent behavior The proposed model shows very good agreement with experimental results .

AB  - In this work, a concentrated solar power (CSP) tri-generation system that is capable of the simultaneous production of steam, power and freshwater is introduced. The abundantly available direct normal irradiance can potentially allow concentrated solar power systems to become major energy contributors in the desalination market. Since CSPs can generate both thermal and electrical energy, they have been found to be excellent candidates for sustainable operation of large scale desalination systems, in the long term. This paper presents a mathematical model in the form of a Mixed-Integer Nonlinear program (MINLP), which involves a tri-generation system for combined steam and power production, primarily using solar energy to operate steam turbines. Moreover, the option of freshwater production using various desalination technology choices, such as reverse osmosis (RO) and multi-stage flashing (MSF), is also accounted for within the model. Hence, the proposed model offers a very convenient and eco-friendly tri-generation route for steam, power and water production. The proposed systematic method was tested using different feedwater salinities, as well as using different product water flowrates, and electricity prices. According to the results obtained, the water production cost (WPC) associated with a water salinity of 25 g/L resulted in a value of 1.83 USD/m3, which is significantly lower than the WPCs obtained at 35 g/L (2.09 USD/m3) and 45 g/L (2.24 USD/m3). Moreover, a large scale tri-generation system with an overall production capacity of 100,000 m3/d of freshwater resulted in a 60% reduction of the attained WPC value, when compared against a small scale system with a production capacity of 10,000 m3/d of freshwater. The option of exporting electrical energy to the grid using the proposed tri-generation system was also investigated, and a sensitivity analysis was conducted by varying the price of electrical energy. The attained breakeven energy prices were 0.74, 0.79 and 0.82 cent/kWh at 25, 35 and 45 g/L of feedwater salinity, respectively.

abstract = "In this work, a concentrated solar power (CSP) tri-generation system that is capable of the simultaneous production of steam, power and freshwater is introduced. The abundantly available direct normal irradiance can potentially allow concentrated solar power systems to become major energy contributors in the desalination market. Since CSPs can generate both thermal and electrical energy, they have been found to be excellent candidates for sustainable operation of large scale desalination systems, in the long term. This paper presents a mathematical model in the form of a Mixed-Integer Nonlinear program (MINLP), which involves a tri-generation system for combined steam and power production, primarily using solar energy to operate steam turbines. Moreover, the option of freshwater production using various desalination technology choices, such as reverse osmosis (RO) and multi-stage flashing (MSF), is also accounted for within the model. Hence, the proposed model offers a very convenient and eco-friendly tri-generation route for steam, power and water production. The proposed systematic method was tested using different feedwater salinities, as well as using different product water flowrates, and electricity prices. According to the results obtained, the water production cost (WPC) associated with a water salinity of 25 g/L resulted in a value of 1.83 USD/m3, which is significantly lower than the WPCs obtained at 35 g/L (2.09 USD/m3) and 45 g/L (2.24 USD/m3).

AB  - In order to reduce negative influence of fossil fuels on environment, use of various renewable resources is highly promoted. Terpenes, naturally occurring in plants, can be added to petroleum fuel as its substitute up to a certain share. Thermodynamic properties of a fuel under high pressure and moderate temperature conditions are of significant importance for engine efficiency. This work reports density measurements of pure p-cymene, alpha-pinene, limonene and citral at temperatures (293.15-413.15) K and pressures (0.1-60) MPa, applying an Anton Paar DMA HP measuring cell. Density data were fitted by modified Tammann-Tait equation where the absolute average percentage deviation between measured and calculated densities was about 0.010%. The obtained parameters were used to estimate the isothermal compressibility, the isobaric thermal expansion coefficient, the internal pressure, and the difference between specific heat capacity at constant pressure and at constant volume. For examined compounds, all thermodynamic properties, except the internal pressure, decrease with pressure rise along an isotherm and increase as temperature increases at a constant pressure. The intersection point of isotherms for the isobaric thermal expansion coefficient for pure citral was registered at pressure 47 MPa, while for other analyzed terpenes the intersection point is above 60 MPa, outside the measurements pressure range.

AB  - This paper utilizes a stochastic optimization approach using genetic algorithms, for conducting rigorous pipe size sensitivity assessments onto the design of pressure relief networks. By sampling high performance candidates, only the finest options can survive. The pressure relief network system that was investigated in this work was previously reported in literature. The problem is constrained and involves minimizing a cost objective function that evaluates the overall network performance, in which the best pipe size combination should be selected for each segment within the network. The overall goal of this paper was to seek cost-effective designs for the pressure relief piping system by exploring different ranges of pipe diameters that are available for each segment in the network and comparing how the overall design of the system is affected, when the number of pipe size options to select from is varied.

AB  - In this study, electrospinning combined with sol-gel technique is applied in order to produce magnetic nickel ferrite (Ni-ferrite) nanofibers. The prepared Ni-ferrite gel was mixed with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) solution which was used as a spinning aid to enable spinnability of the mixture. Structural and morphological characteristics of the asspun ferrite gel/PVP composite web structure and calcinated Ni-ferrite nanofibers were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Phase composition analysis was carried out by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-Ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and Fe-57 Mossbauer spectroscopy (MS). The obtained results suggest that the pure nanocrystalline NiFe2O4 dense mat to the almost coral-like structure of fibers with diameters ranging from hundreds of nanometers to few micrometers was obtained. The results of MS analysis revealed the existence of a crystallite size distribution within the material as well as the existence of a superparamagnetic fraction with very small crystallite sizes ( lt 13nm). Magnetic behavior of the obtained material at elevated temperatures was also scrutinized using thermomagnetic measurements (TM) up to 800 degrees C.

AB  - Continuous catalytic reforming (CCR) is known to convert refinery naphtha to a high-octane liquid product, also known as the reformate. In this paper, a First Principle Reaction Section Model for a CCR process is presented. Even though CCR is a well-established technology, the application of advanced, real-time optimization techniques that are able to quickly respond to any imposed changes onto the process, are necessary in the refinery business. This becomes particularly important as a result of changes in profit margin, changes in operating cost, and the introduction of new environmental legislations. Hence, we present a kinetic model for the CCR process using the so-called "lumped" concept. The reactors have been modeled using a quasi-steady-state approach. The unknown model parameters have been estimated by bench marking the First Principle Reaction Section results with a commercial CCR process owned by the Hungarian Oil and Gas Public Limited Company (INA-MOL). The proposed model has been tested and compared to data obtained from an existing CCR plant. The predictions of the model were found to be in good agreement with the experimental data. The relative absolute errors between the measured and model estimated variables have been found to be lower than 2%. The relative absolute error associated with the required fired heater duties were less than 1.0%. Simulating the reaction section of the CCR process requires less than 0.1 s of CPU time, which clearly indicates that this model can be very suitable for performing optimization studies. Moreover, this study shows that, although there is fluctuation in the composition of feedstock, the lumped kinetic approach was capable to predict the behavior of the CCR process well.

AB  - The Nd-Fe-B-barium ferrite hybrid composite materials with epoxy matrix presented in this paper cover maximum energy product from 1 to 13 MGOe. Mixture of magnetic particles is responsible for high magnetic quality, while the thermosetting resin plays a role in mechanical properties. Samples with various ratio of Nd-Fe-B to barium ferrite in constant weight of epoxy resin are examined by tensile strength measurements. Magnetic measurements carried out by using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) show typical hysteresis loop.

AB  - We propose a systematic model for the optimum design of Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) used for power generation from multiple heat sources available at different temperatures. The model enables the automated generation of inclusive and flexible ORC cascades and is optimized using a global optimization algorithm. Design parameters include the number of ORC cascades, the shared structure of the heat exchanger network, the operating conditions and the working fluid used in each cascade in order to identify an overall ORC structure that maximizes the power output. Results indicate significant operating improvements from using a double ORC cascade with different working fluids.

AB  - This work presents a systematic approach toward the design of Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) for the generation of power from multiple heat sources available at different temperature levels. The design problem is approached in a mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) formulation where an inclusive and flexible ORC model is automatically evolved by a deterministic algorithm for global optimization. The basic building block of the model is the ORC cascade which consists of a heat extraction, a power generation, a condensation and a liquid pressurization section. The aim of the optimization is to determine the optimum number of ORC cascades, the structure of the heat exchanger network shared among different cascades, the operating conditions and the working fluid used in each cascade in order to identify an overall ORC structure that maximizes the power output. The approach is illustrated through a case study which indicates that a system of two waste heat sources is best exploited through two interconnected ORC utilizing different working fluids.

AB  - In order to reduce the usage of fossil fuels in industrial sectors by meeting the requirements of production processes, new heat integration and heat recovery approaches are developed. The goal of this study is to develop an approach to increase energy efficiency of an industrial zone by recovering and reusing waste heat via indirect heat integration. Industrial zones usually consist of multiple independent plants, where each plant is supplied by an independent utility system, as a decentralized system. In this study, a new approach is developed to target minimum energy requirements where an industrial zone would be supplied by a centralized utility system instead of decentralized utility system. The approach assumes that all process plants in an industrial zone are linked through the central utility system. This method is formulated as a linear programming problem (LP). Moreover, the proposed method may be used for decision making related to energy integration strategy of an industrial zone. In addition, the proposed method was applied on a case study. The results revealed that saving of fossil fuel could be achieved.

AB  - Studies involving the design of interplant water networks have received significant attention over the past few years. Many methods have been developed to assist in obtaining efficient water reuse network design schemes, mainly using fundamental concepts of water integration. Our recent work has presented the importance of considering spatial constraints in the form of utility corridor availability, when identifying cost-effective interplant water network arrangements in industrial zones (Alnouri et al., [2014]: Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy 16, 1637-1659). This article extends the scope of our previous work by enabling the identification of new corridor locations, which could potentially be used alongside existing utility infrastructure. We present an optimization framework that allows unutilized areas of land within industrial zones to be sectioned off and added as optional transportation channels, together with existing utility corridor regions, in the course of attaining cost-effective interplant water network designs. The methodology entails that identification of optimal wastewater reuse schemes among various processing entities, by exploring options for enhanced utility corridors. As an illustration, several cases that utilize an assumed layout for an industrial zone have been carried out, in which a number of unutilized regions of land were identified to exist. Several opportunities that allow for potential corridor additions onto existing corridor infrastructure, through the exploitation of unutilized regions of land within the plot, were explored. A number of improvements in the water network designs obtained are highlighted for the different case scenarios that have been investigated, using the proposed approach.

AB  - The aim of this paper is to obtain microbeads of natural polymers such as alginate and chitosan. These microbeads were used as potential carriers for the active ingredients so that in this study the diffusion of various substances from them is analyzed. Alginate microbeads were obtained by electrostatic droplet method. In the resulting microbeads was performed absorption of three tracer indicators with different molecular weight (acridine orange, blue dextran, methylene blue). The goal of the experiment is to monitor indicators release kinetics from microbeads. Based on these measurements the layoffs curve should give an answer on the impact of the molecular size of the three indicators on the diffusion rate of microbeads. In order to achieve the slow release of indicators alginate microbeads were coated with chitosan. Chitosan has an impact on reducing the porosity of gel, which further led to lower release tracer indicators of microbeads. Comparative analysis of the obtained layoffs curves answers about the impact on the process of obtaining micro diffusion rate indicator.
AB  - U ovom radu je prikazan proces sinteze mikročestica od prirodnih polimera, alginata i hitozana, kao i neka njihova svojstva. Osnovna primena ovih mikročestica je da se koriste kao potencijalni nosači za aktivne supstance. U tom smislu je ispitivana i difuzija različitih supstanci iz njih. Na alginatne mikročestice dobijene metodom elektrostatičke ekstruzije vršena je apsorpcija tri trejserska indikatora sa različitim molekulskim masama: akridin oranž, plavi dekstran i metilensko plavo. Praćenjem kinetike otpuštanja indikatora iz mikročestica konstruisane su krive otpuštanja koje daju informaciju o uticaju veličine molekula svakog od indikatora na brzinu difuzije iz mikročestica. Da bi se postiglo što sporije otpuštanje indikatora alginatne mikročestice su oblagane hitozanom. Hitozan ima uticaj na smanjenje poroznosti gela, što dovodi do sporijeg otpuštanja trejsersikh indikatora iz mikročestica. Uporedna analiza dobijenih krivih otpuštanja daje odgovor o uticaju postupka dobijanja mikročestica na brzinu difuzije indikatora.

AB  - This work investigates the performance of working fluid mixtures for use in solar ORC (Organic Rankine Cycle systems) with heat storage employing FPC (Flat Plate Collectors). Several mixtures are considered including conventional choices often utilized in ORC as well as novel mixtures previously designed using advanced computer aided molecular design methods (Papadopoulos et al., 2013). The impact of heat source variability on the ORC performance is assessed for different working fluid mixtures. Solar radiation is represented in detail through actual, hourly averaged data for an entire year. A multi-criteria mixture selection methodology unveils important trade-offs among several important system operating parameters and efficiently highlights optimum operating ranges. Such parameters include the ORC thermal efficiency, the net generated power, the volume ratio across the turbine, the mass flow rate of the ORC working fluid, the evaporator temperature glide, the temperature drop in the storage tank, the ORC total yearly operating duration, the required collector aperture area to generate 1 kW of power and the irreversibility. A mixture of neopentane - 2-fluoromethoxy-2-methylpropane at 70% neopentane is found to be the most efficient in all the considered criteria simultaneously.
