TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a traveling-wave thermoacoustic electricity generator, which employs a looped-tube travelling-wave engine to convert thermal energy into acoustic power, an ultra-compliant alternator within the engine loop to extract and convert the engine acoustic power to electricity, and an acoustic stub matching technique to match the alternator to the engine.

TL;DR: In this article, a dual-loop ORC system with two cascaded ORCs to recover energy from the engine exhaust gases and coolant separately has been proposed to improve the overall efficiency of energy recovery.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a dynamic ORC that uses a binary zeotropic mixture as the working fluid, with mechanisms in place to adjust the mixture composition dynamically during operation in response to changing heat sink conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, two heat exchangers were proposed by utilizing triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structures, i.e. the Gyroid structure and Schwarz-D surface, to enhance heat transfer and improve cycle efficiency.

TL;DR: In this article, a dual-loop ORC (organic Rankine cycle) system is adopted to recover exhaust energy, waste heat from the coolant system, and intercooler heat rejection of a six-cylinder CNG (compressed natural gas) engine.
