Energetic and exergetic analysis of a novel mixture for an absorption/compression refrigeration system: R245fa/DMAC

Energetic and Exergetic Analysis of Internal Combustion Engine Cogeneration System

In this article, the first and second law analysis of diesel engine based cogeneration system was performed. Fuel utilization efficiency, rate of power, and rate of process heat of the plant were determined and various efficiencies based on both energy and exergy methods and the performance assessment parameters are defined for both the system components and the entire cogeneration plant. The o...

Saving Energy by Exergetic Analysis of MTP Process Refrigeration System

The exergetic analysis is a tool that has been used successfully in many studies aiming a more rational energy consumption to reduce the cost of processes. With this analysis, it is possible to perform an evaluation of the overall process, locating and quantifying the degradation of exergy. This paper applies exergy approach for analyzing the heat exchanger network design and refrigeration of M...

Energetic and Exergetic Analysis of a Transcritical N2O Refrigeration Cycle with an Expander

Comparative energy and exergy investigations are reported for a transcritical N2O refrigeration cycle with a throttling valve or with an expander when the gas cooler exit temperature varies from 30 to 55 ◦C and the evaporating temperature varies from −40 to 10 ◦C. The system performance is also compared with that of similar cycles using CO2. Results show that the N2O expander cycle exhibits a l...

Energetic and Exergetic Analysis of an Ejector-Expansion Refrigeration Cycle Using the Working Fluid R32

The performance characteristics of an ejector-expansion refrigeration cycle (EEC) using R32 have been investigated in comparison with that using R134a. The coefficient of performance (COP), the exergy destruction, the exergy efficiency and the suction nozzle pressure drop (SNPD) are discussed. The results show that the application of an ejector instead of a throttle valve in R32 cycle decreases...
