In this article, an azeotropic mixture of R-717/R-170 is proposed for ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) applications. R-717/R-170 is an environmentally safe working fluid mixture with no ozone depletion potential (ODP) and low greenhouse warming potential (GWP). This mixture can be used in OTEC power plants to replace conventional working fluids of medium vapour pressure. Due to the increase in pressure, a significant reduction in equipment size is anticipated, with consequent capital cost
