Abstract
The production of urban solid waste is an economic, social and environmental problem. In Brazil, this problem is even more serious because the provision of 41% of all the garbage produced goes to open-air dumps with no adequate treatment. In this context the incineration of waste can become an excellent alternative, because in addition to treating the waste generated by reducing the volume of waste by 90%, the hot gases generated in the incineration can be used to generate electricity in Rankine cycle plants. Thus, the objective of this work is to evaluate the energetic and exergetic potential of waste incineration for energy production in Rankine cycle plants.
