Thermodynamic modelling and analysis of a solar organic Rankine cycle employing thermofluids

On the other hand, in terms of the environmental impact, thermofluids such as RE347mcc, RE245fa2 (HFEs) and R1234ze, R1233zd (HFOs) offer an attractive alternative, yet they were neither the most efficient, nor generated the highest amount of net work output. This paper provides thermofluids' selection guidelines to achieve maximum efficiency within solar thermal energy technologies while keeping environmental impacts into considerations.
