Web calculators for thermal energy systems

Introduction

 

pocketORC and pocketHP are steady-state design models for organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power plants and heat pumps. Both models operate straight from the browser (and hence from the phone in your pocket). The underlying models are written in the Python programming language and the PyScript framework is used to call Python code directly from HTML.

 

pocketORC and pocketHP are intended to be used as teaching aids to explore basic principles relating to both systems, whilst also serving as pocket calculators for people working within the field.
