♻️ Waste-to-Energy Plant: 2D Energy-Flow Model

Interactive 2D model of a municipal waste incinerator with steam turbine. Drag the waste-composition dividers, the excess-air handle and the steam-temperature handle and watch a live Sankey diagram split the fuel heat into steam, stack loss, unburnt losses, net electricity and condenser heat, with flame temperature, homes powered and landfill volume avoided.
