Abstract: Low power Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) turbines are typically characterised by flow efficiencies much smaller than those of large power steam or gas turbines. The paper concentrates on a possibility of improving the flow efficiency of an ORC axial turbine working on toluene using several optimization algorithms such as a simplex method of Nelder-Mead, a hybrid of genetic algorithm with the Nelder-Mead method, as well as implicit filtering.
