Dr White presenting at ORC 2023

Dr Martin White from the TFMRC attended the 7^th International Seminar on ORC Power Systems which took place in Seville between the 4^th and 6^th of September 2023 and is the leading international conference on organic Rankine cycle power systems.

During the conference, Dr White presented his recent work, which has led to the development of a free web-based calculator for designing thermal energy systems. The web tool is intended as a tool to aid in the teaching of thermal energy systems, providing students with an introduction to key concepts and enabling students to carry out design studies.

The development of the tool was supported by the Royal Academy of Engineering through the pilot summer internships programme, which supported an undergraduate student from the University of Sussex to work with Dr White over the summer to develop the tool. The tool is available here.
