Thermal-flow calculations for a thermal waste treatment plant

Abstract

Thermal waste treatment plants are an answer to the important problem of waste neutralization on the one hand, while inspiring various emotions in society due to their impact on their planned or existing sites on the other. The primary benefit from incinerating waste is the ability to reuse it as fuel to produce energy. The paper presents thermal calculations that present the performance of the entire thermal waste treatment plant, which depends on the final use of the energy it produces. The equations developed make it possible to monitor the energy flow rate in the various components of the power unit, taking into account losses in the boiler and turbine condenser.
