The park-level integrated energy system (PIES) has been developing rapidly in recent years due to its economic and environmental advantages. PIES is a typical user-side supply with multiple forms such as solar energy, electrical cool heat inside the system. coupling between these sources differences quality of make analysis evaluation difficult task for research. In order solve problems, an met...

The application of ecological exergy as a suitable system-oriented development indicator of ecosystems and the estimation proposals from biomass are revised. DNA contents (C-values) of several groups of organisms are figured, either determined by flow cytometry or taken from literature. The applicability of DNA contents for determination of weighing factors to estimate ecological exergy from th...

biomass co-firing with lignite represents an attractive solution for operating lignite-fired thermalpower plants (tpp) with the dual advantage of using local renewable resources and simultaneously reducingemissions. the subject of this study is technical and environmental investigation of the feasibility of the cofiring of soma lignite with some dried agricultural residues in the soma thermal p...

current approaches to the analysis of internal combustion engines are no longer merely based on the first law of thermodynamics and are conducted from the second law either. the evaluation of processes by the first law cannot provide a sophisticated insight into the issue. so, due to the necessity of having a detailed perspective of the losses in different thermodynamic processes, a useful meth...

The impulse turbo expander (ITE) is employed to replace the throttling valve in the vapor compression refrigeration cycle to improve the system performance. An improved ITE and the corresponding cycle are presented. In the new cycle, the ITE not only acts as an expansion device with work extraction, but also serves as an economizer with vapor injection. An increase of 20% in the isentropic effi...

Absorption chillers present opportunities to utilize sustainable fuels in the production of chilled water. An assessment of the steam driven absorption chiller at the University of Idaho, was performed to quantify the current exergy destruction rates. Measurements of external processes and flows were used to create a mathematical model. Using engineering equation solver to analyze and identify ...

Exergy is a concept that is gaining an increasingly wider recognition as a proper measure for the actual energy resources consumed, when energy is used. Energy as such is indestructible, but exergy is not. As entropy is generated while energy is used, exergy is consumed. Exergy can be interpreted as the qualitative content of energy, or as energy in its highest quality. Therefore, there is an i...

Through its ‘Column Targeting Tools’ the Aspen plus simulator performs the ‘Thermal Analysis’ for rigorous column (RadFrac) calculations and produce Column Grand Composite Curves (CGCC) and exergy loss profiles. The CGCC displays the net enthalpies for the actual and ideal operations at each stage, and the cold and hot heat utility requirements, while the exergy loss profiles indicate the level...
