T-s diagram for the ideal/real ORC. The working principle of the organic Rankine cycle is the same as that of the Rankine cycle: the working fluid is pumped to a boiler where it is evaporated, passed through an expansion device (turbine, [3] screw, [4] scroll, [5] or other expander), and then through a condenser heat exchanger where it is finally re-condensed.
The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) uses an organic fluid such as n-pentane [3] or toluene [4] in place of water and steam. This allows use of lower-temperature heat sources, such as solar ponds , which typically operate at around 70 –90 °C. [ 5 ]
The Offshore Racing Congress Rule is a system of handicapping sailboats for the purpose of racing. It is managed by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC) and is usually referred to in the sailing community simply as "ORC". ORC is an enhanced version of the earlier IMS handicapping system that was used globally from the early 1990s to the early 2000s.
The ORC developed International Measurement System (IMS) in the early 1990s and it was widely used to the early 2000s. This made use of a Velocity prediction program or VPP. While still maintained, the IMS [ 1 ] has been largely superseded by the Offshore Racing Congress Rule in its International [ 2 ] and, simpler, Club [ 3 ] forms.
The International Measurement System (IMS) is a system of handicapping sailboats for the purpose of racing that replaced the earlier International Offshore Rule (IOR) system in the early 1990s. It is managed by the Offshore Racing Congress (ORC). [1] In the sailing world it is usually referred to simply as 'IMS'.
The ORCi World Championships is an annual international sailing regatta for performance yachts rated under the ORCi rating system, organized by the host club on behalf of the Offshore Racing Congress and recognized by World Sailing, the sports IOC recognized governing body.
A regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) is an example of a waste heat recovery unit that utilizes a regenerative process.. A waste heat recovery unit (WHRU) is an energy recovery heat exchanger that transfers heat from process outputs at high temperature to another part of the process for some purpose, usually increased efficiency.
The orc battle priest, the orc berserker, and the war howler orc are introduced in the Monster Manual IV (2006). [29] The frostblood orcs appear in Dragon Magic (2006). The sharakim are a race of orcs that were transformed from humans, and appeared as a player character race in Races of Destiny (2004).
