Abstract

It is not possible to measure very high temperature with help of physical temperature measuring probes, so in order to get temperature of flue gases, inverse heat transfer theory is applied. Measuring the temperature on outside wall of pipe from which flue gases are going out, it is possible to get calculated values of flue gases (which is not possible to get with physical probe) using inverse heat transfer analysis. From this, heat flux is calculated and that heat flux is suggested to be applied to run Kalina cycle. Furthermore, Kalina cycle thermal analysis is performed to understand the full working by applying first law of thermodynamics.
