Thermodynamic and Economic Studies of a Combined Cycle for Waste Heat Recovery of Marine Diesel Engine

In the present study, the thermodynamic and economic performance of a combined thermodynamic cycle formed by an ORC and a Kalina cycle, which can simultaneously recover waste heat of exhaust gas and cooling water of marine engine, has been analyzed. Two typical marine engines are selected to be the waste heat source. Six economic indicators are used to analyze the economic performance of this combined thermodynamic cycle system with different...
