The performance analysis of a transcritical organic Rankine cycle system driven by exhaust heat is presented by using 24 organic working fluids. Four parameters, such as the net power output, thermal efficiency, exergy efficiency, and mass flow rate of working fluid, are used to evaluate the performance of this recovery cycle. The results reveal that the maximum net power can be obtained for the saturated ORC, when T1/TC is about 0.98～0.99,and the working fluid with higher critical temperature has more net power output. For the supercritical ORC, the higher expander inlet temperature will benefit the net power output, thermal efficiency, and exergy efficiency, as long as the expander inlet pressure isnnot too low. However, the influences of expander inlet pressure on these performance parameters are linked with the expander inlet temperature and working fluids. The capability of doing power output of supercritical ORC is not always better than that of subcritical ORC. Parameters, such as net power, thermal efficiency, and exergy efficiency, and mass flow rate are discontinuous in the process from subcritical conditions to supercritical conditions.
