Introduction Waste Heat Recovery (WHR) is a process to transform waste heat into useful work. This can be applied to various industrial processes, which produce waste heat over a wide range of temperatures [1]. In internal combustion engines, only 30-35% of the energy provided by fuel is converted to mechanical power, with the remaining two thirds of the fuel energy lost to the environment as heat via the coolant and exhaust gas [1]. Amongst different thermodynamic cycles, Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is considered as a viable technology for the WHR system. The ORC is the same as other conventional cycle energy systems (e.g. steam) but uses organic fluids such as refrigerants (e.g. R134a). Compared to the subcritical operating condition, the ORC system wringing under supercritical conditions has potential to improve the cycle thermal efficiencies up to 10-15%. Furthermore, the ORCS can be used in both mobile (e.g. trucks) and stationary applications (combined heat and power plants). ORC-WHR Figure 1 depicts an ORC-WHR system with multiple heat sources for stationary applications. The system has the capability of working in both subcritical and supercritical conditions. Liquid refrigerant at high pressure (state 3) goes through the three heat exchangers (state 4, 5 and 6). These heat exchanges are connected to three heat sources, which represent different (low, medium and high) grades waste heat available in industry. After the high-heat exchanger (state 6), the vapour refrigerant at high temperature and high pressure enters a turbine, which is connected to a generator and produces electricity. The refrigerant then goes into a regenerator (state 7). Here, the vapour refrigerant gives the remaining energy (which could not be extracted by the turbine) to the cold liquid refrigerant, which leaves the compressor (in process 2-3). A low temperature vapour then leaves the regenerator at state 8 and goes into a condenser, where it will be converted to liquid. Finally, the condensed liquid enters the compressor at state 1 and the cycle repeats.
