Waste incineration has become the main treatment method for urban household waste, and it can produce a large amount of electricity. The efficiency of waste incineration plants is reduced due to the large amount of waste heat carried away by the flue gas. Recycling and utilizing the waste heat from flue gas are important in improving the economic benefits of waste incineration, which is necessary for energy conservation and emission reduction. Based on the principle of cascade waste heat recovery from waste incineration flue gas whilst considering system safety and efficiency, this study proposed a new combination cascade waste heat recovery system consisting of a Rankine cycle, an organic Rankine cycle and a heat pump cycle. Thermodynamic and economic analyses of the combined system were conducted in detail. The results indicated that the energy efficiency of the combined system could reach up to 73%. The maximum net present value of the system was million USD 1.59 million, and the dynamic investment payback period was about 6.5 years. The isentropic efficiency of the combined system’s pumps and turbines had a significant impact on the system’s performance. A higher isentropic efficiency resulted in better system performance. The exergy analysis showed that the evaporator of the heat pump system had the highest irreversible loss. Full article

Hydrogen is a promising zero-carbon fuel, and its application in the micro-combustor can promote carbon reduction. The structural design of micro-combustors is crucial for combustion characteristics and thermal performance improvement. This study investigates the premixed combustion characteristics of hydrogen/air in a micro-cylindrical combustor with double ribs, using an orthogonal design method to assess the impact of various geometric parameters on thermal performance. The results indicate that the impact of rib height, rib position, and inclined angle is greater than rib width and their interactions, while their influence decreases in that order. Increased rib height improves mean wall temperature and exergy efficiency due to an expanded recirculation region and increased flame–wall contact, but negatively affects temperature uniformity and combustion efficiency. Although double ribs enhance performance, placing them too close may reduce heat transfer due to the low-temperature region between the ribs. When the double ribs are positioned at the axial third equinoxes of the micro-combustor, the highest mean wall temperature is achieved. Meanwhile, with a rib height of 0.3 and an inclined angle of 45°, the micro-combustor achieves optimal thermal performance, with the mean wall temperature increasing by 61.32 K. Full article
