Therefore, this issue requires energy sources to be used more efficiently and urges professionals to utilize energy from low temperature energy sources such as waste heat and low temperature renewable sources. In this study, energy and exergy analyses of several clean working fluids are comparatively studied in several organic Rankine cycle configurations. CO2, N2O, and SF6 fluids are compared with the conventional R23 in three ORC configurations, namely the basic ORC cycle, regenerative ORC cycle, and reheat and regenerative ORC cycle, respectively. Effects of various selected system and environmental parameters on the system performances are comprehensively investigated. Even though R23 shows the best energy and exergy performances than those of other investigated working fluids at low-temperature applications, N2O and CO2 provide a clean solution to high GWP (global warming potential) R23 with similar performance characteristics at low and high temperature power generation applications.Keywords: Organic rankine cycle, energy, exergy, R23, CO2, N2O, SF6. ÖZSon zamanlarda, enerji ihtiyacı dünyada katlanarak artarken enerji kaynakları hızla azalmaktadır. Bu yüzden, bu konu enerji kaynaklarının daha verimli kullanılması ve uzmanları atık ısı ve düşük sıcaklık yenilenebilir enerji kaynakları gibi düşük sıcaklık kaynaklarının kullanmalarını gerektirir. Bu çalışmada, birbirinden farklı temiz akışkanların enerji ve ekserji analizleri farklı organik Rankine çevrim konfigürasyonlarında karşılaştırmalı olarak incelenmiştir. CO2, N2O ve SF6 akışkanları geleneksel R23 akışkanı ile sırasıyla temel organik Rankine çevirimi, ara buhar almalı organik Rankine çevrimi ve ara ısıtmalı-ara buhar almalı organik Rankine çevrimlerinde karşılaştırılmıştır. Çeşitli seçilmiş sistemlerin ve çevresel parametrelerin sistem performanslarına etkileri kapsamlı olarak incelenmiştir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Organik rankine çevrimi, enerji, ekserji, R23, CO2, N2O, SF6.

Indoor Lighting Conversion Approach for Sustainable Energy Efficiency Applications in Campus Buildings: Hitit University Engineering Faculty Study

“…The rapid growth of the world population and the dependence on technology increased the need for energy worldwide. Most of the energy produced in the world is obtained from fossil fuels and this causes the climate crisis [1,2]. For this reason, in recent years, it became increasingly important to use the currently available resources with higher efficiency and sustainability [3].…”

“…Worldwide, population growth and technological developments continuously increase the energy demand. 1 Despite the dip in global energy demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, energy demand is expected to recover to pre-crisis levels by 2023 and continue to increase steadily to exceed the pre-crisis (2019) levels by 9% by the year 2030. 2 Although the required energy can be obtained from different sources, most of the consumed energy is obtained from fossil fuels, which are limited and will run out over time.…”
