Simulation study suggests ORC waste heat recovery system could deliver potential 7% improvement in fuel consumption in a PHEV on highway

Green Car Congress

The analysis used the Ohio State University EcoCAR, a student prototype PHEV, as the basis for the preliminary fuel economy evaluation. They then designed a quasi-static thermodynamic model of an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) optimized to fit the prototype vehicle. Exhaust gas exergy map of EcoCAR engine. —Skarke et al.
