5. Aim of project: Understand how Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) works and how to improve its efficiency

6. Objectives:

6.1. 1. Research what the ORC is and how it is used in industry.

6.2. 2. Create a thermodynamic model of the ORC.

6.3. 3. Use EES to analyse the different working fluids and heating sources including refrigerants.

6.4. 4. Use EES to calculate and record findings.

6.5. 5. Carry out experiments in the laboratory to support hypothesis.

7. Create a Project Diary

7.1. Meet up weekly with my supervisor (Prof Hao Liu).

7.2. Download Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software onto my laptop.

7.3. Create weekly plans for managing work.
