Cogeneration of power-and-water is one the potential solutions for ever-rising energy and freshwater demand. These systems have shown superior thermodynamic economic performance compared to their standalone counterparts because processes synergy shared utilities resources. The current study investigates a multi-effect distillation system operated on bleed-out steam from last stages low-pressure...

Due to the importance of energy consumption in a steam network of oil refinery as a significant unit, present study is concerned with the optimization of an oil refinery steam network. Here, the attempt was made to use concepts such as first and second thermodynamic laws, thermo-economic, environmental and economic discussions to investigate three different scenarios about Tehran refinery steam...

One of the challenging issues that has always attracted attention experts is how to control and reduce greenhouse gas emissions because their overwhelming negative environmental impacts. Although burning hazardous gaseous products in flare systems boosts safety oil fields diminishes internal pressure extraction systems, it a catastrophic impact on surrounding environment. In this study, new sys...

Abstract Drying process has been employed since ancient times to preserve agricultural products by reducing the moisture content. Solar dryer is one of most commonly used dryers due its availability, reliability, and environmentally friendly nature. It practical in rural areas solar can be fabricated with a simple design. Despite potential, designing long-term, feasible challenging without good...
