    Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient (Exhaust Gas to Refrigerant)

    oh ok thank you, I was confused because any information I have searched for contained tables with both the hot and the cold liquid for example: gas to water and a corresponding "U" value... Would you know how to obtain a relatively accurate value for my predicament or an educated guess perhaps...

    Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient (Exhaust Gas to Refrigerant)

    Hi there, I am doing a project modelling and simulating a gas engine waste heat recovery system using an organic rankine cycle. As part of this project I would like to size the surface area of a heat exchanger (if only roughly). I have found the appropriate formula using Q = U.A.LMTD and...

    What are the parameters for an Organic Rankine Cycle waste heat recovery system?

    Thanks for taking time to reply. It's given me some food for thought. I may need to get back to ye at some point but thanks very much for this base.

    What are the parameters for an Organic Rankine Cycle waste heat recovery system?

    Hello, I'm new to these forums and hoping I can get some help with a project I'm undertaking in college. The project is to model a waste heat recovery system using an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). What I'm currently looking at is my waste heat source (exhaust gas from a natural gas engine). The...
