Heat Pump

For heat pumps of this simple structure (so far).

heat pump with storage

As one of the outputs, one gets such plots:

Organic Rankine Cycle

Organic Rankine cycles with this structure are modelled:

organic rankine cycle with storages, structure plot

Typical results (here for a mixture) look like this:

Cycle Structure

The structure of cycles are read from excel files , to create the structure plot, as shown above. graphviz must be installed on the computer to use this script. An exemplary excel-file is found in the data-folder. Here is the first page of it.
