Waste Heat Recovery from Flue Gas with a Steam Rankine Cycle
Energy
This example demonstrates waste heat recovery from the exhaust gas of a silicon production furnace using a water-based Rankine cycle. Heat from the high-temperature exhaust gas is recovered to generate and superheat steam, which is expanded through a turbine to produce power before being condensed and recirculated. The process illustrates heat integration, steam-cycle design and the conversion of industrial waste heat into useful power.
