In the paper conducted has been a concise survey of up to date investigations and simulations of the low-temperature Clausius–Rankine (C–R) cycle as well as presented have been authors own results of calculations regarding effectiveness of operation of the power station following such cycle....

A method was proposed to couple the heat source with ORCs (Organic Rankine Cycles). The integrated-average temperature difference, ΔTave, quantifies the thermal match in the evaporator. ΔTave decreases with increase in critical temperatures (Tc). The fluid with Tc approaching Tgas,in (flue gas...

Waste heat recovery from the exhaust gases of gas turbines, geothermal resources, and from industrial plants offers a great opportunity for rational energy usage by productively converting the waste energy. In the present communication we report a systematic study starting with the hydrocarbons...

In a typical cement producing procedure, 25% of the total energy used is electricity and 75% is thermal energy. However, the process is characterized by significant heat losses mainly by the flue gases and the ambient air stream used for cooling down the clinker (about 35%–40% of the process...
