摘要
In this paper,the optimal Rankine Cycle for waste heat recovery is considered after pro-cess integration.The exergetic efficiency is used to measure the thermodynamic performance of the re-covery system.Comparing with recovering a single waste heat stream,heat recovery after processintegration is much more complicated due to the changeable specific heat given by the process grandcomposite curves.Therefore,this paper attempts to focus attention on the influence of grand compos-ite curves on the optimization.
