We welcome you to the 27th IEEE International Conference on Application-specific Systems, Architectures and Processors (ASAP 2016). This year’s event takes place in London, United Kingdom on the campus of the Imperial College London. Prior to this year’s visit to London, the conference has been held in many places around the globe including Oxford (1986), San Diego (1988), Killarney (1989), Pri...

In this study, the performance of an irreversible regenerative Brayton cycle is sought through power maximizations using finite-time thermodynamic concept in finite-size components. Optimizations are performed using a genetic algorithm. In order to take into account the finite-time and finite-size concepts in the current problem, a dimensionless mass-flow rate parameter is used to deploy ti...

Based on the benefits of integrated gasification combined cycles (IGCCs), a cogeneration plant for providing electricity and freshwater is proposed. The main novelties devised system are integration biomass regenerative gas turbine with intercooling syngas combustor, where produced in gasifier burned combustion chamber fed to directly. energy discharged from utilized further generation via Kali...

Exergy and thermoeconomic analyses are herein employed to evaluate the proposed refrigeration cycle of Tabriz olefin plant. The exergetic and exergoeconomic variables of all equipment and streams are calculated. Thermoeconomic model is developed according to the total revenue requirement (TRR) method. The results indicate that the rational efficiencies of the Heat Exchanger E-104 and compressor...
