A method of utilization of thermal waste energy industry to generate electricity

Abstract

The possibilities of effective use of secondary energy resources, including thermal waste with a temperature below 80°C, as warmth sources for a thermodynamic heat engine cycle by power generation are considered. It is proposed as the working fluid in a heat engine to use liquefied carbon dioxide gas or propane.
