The thermodynamic comparative analyses on the SRC, TRC and ESRC, ETRC are conducted on the Available online 10 December 2013 power output and thermal efficiency of the cycles. The carbon dioxide is chosen as the working fluid for the cycles. Water is chosen as the fluid of the low-grade heat. The water temperature is selected in a Keywords: range of 60–90 C, a typical water temperature is 80 C, and the mass flow rate is 1 kg/s. The same tem- Supercritical or transcritical Rankine cycle perature and mass flow rate of the water is the standard condition for the comparative analysis of the (SRC TRC) thermodynamic performance.
