Many recent studies suggest that supercritical Organic Rankine Cycles have a great potential for lowtemperature heat recovery applications, since they allow better recovery efficiency for a simplified cycle architecture. In this work we investigate flows of dense gases through axial, multi-stage, supercritical ORC turbines, using a numerical code including advanced equations of state and a high-order discretization scheme. Several working fluids are considered, and performances of supercritical turbines are compared to those of subcritical ones using the same fluids.
