Dai [5] compared the performance of 10 pure working fluids and R236ea offered the highest exergy efficiency. Aleksandra [6] investigated the use of the 80–120 °C geothermal water in an ORC power plant and R236fa was recommended as the excellent fluids. Gu [7] conducted the experiment with the inlet temperature of hot water 75–100 °C and R600a was proved as a favorable work- ing fluid. Mago [8] performed first- and second-low analysis on R134a, R113, R245ca, R245fa, R123, R600a and R290. Hung [9] studied the ORC systems using refrigerant- and benzene-series flu- ids as working fluids. Chen [10] presented a review of the organic Rankine cycle and tanscritical power cycle and 35 working fluids were screened for the two cycles. Rayegan [11] investigated 115 fluids in the Refprop 8.0 database to screen suitable working fluid for solar ORC system. Li [12] used R123 in a novel solar ORC sys- tem. Moreover, a series of mixtures [13–18], which could be used to reduce the system irreversibilities, were also proposed in sub- critical ORC system. Due to the variable temperature of the transformation from li- quid to vapor in the vapor generator, transcritical power cycle provided a high potential in utilizing the geothermal and reducing the irreversibility. So it is theoretically the ideal cycle for the heat sources when a variable temperature is obtained during the heat exchanging process [19]. Zhang [20–23] conducted thermody- namic analysis and experiment investigation of CO2-based Ran- kine cycle powered by solar energy. It was found that CO2 could efficiently convert the low-temperature solar energy into electric- ity and hot water. Cayer [24] conducted a detailed analysis of a carbon dioxide transcritical power cycle using an industrial low- grade stream of process gases as its heat source. Schuster et al. [25] conducted energy and exergy analysis for various fluids in
