摘要：The present work deals with multi objective optimization of nanofluid based Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) to utilise waste heat energy. Working fluid considered for the study is R245ca for its good thermodynamic properties and lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) compared to the conventional fluids used in the waste heat recovery system. Heat Transfer Search (HTS) algorithm is used to optimize the objective functions which tends to maximize thermal efficiency and minimize Levelised Energy Cost (LEC). To enhance heat transfer between the working fluid and source fluid, nanoparticles are added to the source fluid. Application of nanofluids in the heat transfer system helps in maximizing recovery of the waste heat in the heat exchangers. Based on the availability and cost, CuO nanoparticles are considered for the study. Effect of Pinch Point Temperature Difference (PPTD) and concentration of nanoparticles in heat exchangers is studied and discussed. Results showed that nanofluids based ORC gives maximum thermal efficiency of 18.50% at LEC of 2.59 $/kWh. Total reduction of 7.11% in LEC can be achieved using nanofluids.
