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...

Exergy analysis is based on combined first and second laws of thermodynamics and is a useful tool to analyze the energy systems in a better and more realistic way than an energy analysis, based on the first law of thermodynamics. Combination of exergy from thermodynamics with conventional concepts from engineering economy which is referred to as thermo-economy (exergo-economy) is a valuable too...

Thermodynamic analysis of a novel combined system which is combination of methane fired gas turbine cogeneration system (CGAM) with a supercritical CO2 recompression Brayton cycle (SCO2) and an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is reported. Also, a comprehensive parametric study is performed to investigate the effects on the performance of the proposed system of some important parameters. Finally, a ...

Exergy destruction in adiabatic pipeline flow of surfactant-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions is investigated in five different diameter pipes. The dispersed-phase (oil droplets) concentration of the emulsions is varied from 0% to 55.14% vol. The emulsions are Newtonian in that the viscosity is independent of the shear rate. For a given emulsion and pipe diameter, the exergy destruction rate pe...

In this case study, exergy analysis is applied to a mini two-shaft gas turbine which is located in Islamic Azad University Khomeini Shahr Branch`s Thermodynamics laboratory and a proposal presented to make exergy destruction less using a Heat Recovery Water Heater (HRWH). Calculations were done for N2=20000 (rpm) constant and various N1 and after that for N1=600...

the purpose of this research is to investigate thermoeconomic optimization and exergy analysis of transcritical co2 refrigeration cycle with an ejector. after modeling thermodynamic equations of elements and considering optimization parameters of emerging temperature of gas of cooler (tgc) , emerging pressure of cooler's gas (pgc) , and evaporative temperature (tevp) , optimization of targ...

The main goal of this paper is to analyze the exergy losses during the shock and rarefaction wave of hydrogen-air mixture. First, detonation parameters pressure, temperature, density, and species mass fraction are calculated for three cases where the hydrogen mass fraction in air is 1.5%, 2.5%, and 5%. Then, exergy efficiency is used as objective criteria of performance evaluation. A two-dimens...

An experimental and theoretical energy and exergy analysis was conducted for a cylindrical cavity receiver employed in a parabolic dish collector. Based on simultaneous energy and exergy analysis, the receiver average wall temperature and overall heat transfer coefficient were determined. A simplified Nusselt number for Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF) through the receiver as a function of Reynolds an...

In the present work, the exergy analysis and economic study of 3 different samples of threecomponent mixtures have been investigated (ESI>1, ESI≈1, and ESI<1). The feed mixture has been tested under three different compositions (low, equal, and high contents of the intermediate component). A quantitative comparison between simple and complex configurations, considering thermally coupled, thermo...
