Advanced exergy analysis is a tool to split the exergy destruction of the system to achieve a better perspective about the potentials of a system for improvements. In addition, the component interactions and their exergy destruction dependency with the other equipment are investigated through the advanced exergy analysis. For this purpose, it divides the exergy destruction calculated by convent...

In this study, an integrated structure of the air separation unit, natural gas liquids recovery equipped with nitrogen removal unit is developed. In this regard, advanced exergy and exergoeconomic analyses are used to examine the irreversibility, possible improvements and the cost of the inefficiencies of the process. The exergy analysis presents information on the origin of the irreversibility...

In this work, energy and exergy analyses are carried out for a combined cycle consisting of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) and a liquefied natural gas (LNG) Rankine cycle for the recovery of low-grade heat sources and LNG cold energy. The effects of the turbine inlet pressure and the working fluid on the system performance are theoretically investigated. A modified temperature-enthalpy diagram ...

natural gas is often associated with nitrogen and heavy compounds. the heavy components in the natural gas not only can feed downstream units, owing to the low temperature process may be formed solid as well. therefore, heavy components separation can be a necessity and produce useful products. virtually, all natural gases are containing nitrogen ​​that would lower the heating value of natural ...

Through online optimization and control, vapor compression systems (VCSs) can effectively respond to disturbances, such as weather or varying loads that cannot be accounted for at the design stage, while simultaneously maximizing system efficiency. However, to do so requires a mathematical characterization of efficiency for the VCS. In particular, we would like to maximize the exergetic efficie...

The analysis of complex thermodynamic systems with exergetic and 2nd law methods is continually performed for various fields of engineering. This also applies to environmental control systems (ECS) of aircraft. This paper focuses on methods of exergy and energy analysis applied to ECS. It gives a survey of the published material and identifies the state of the art. Furthermore, this analysis in...

Advanced exergoeconomic analysis is applied on process configurations for co-production of LNG and NGL. This analysis provides information on the origin of the irreversibility as well as the irreversibility value of the process. The exergy destruction, exergy destruction cost, and also investment cost, are divided into two available/unavailable and endogenous/exogenous parts. The results of adv...

This paper presents a detailed thermodynamical exergy analysis of an optimized MSF distillation plant based on the latest published thermodynamics properties of water and seawater software of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology by using design and optimized plant operation data. Exergy flow rates are evaluated throughout the plant and the exergy flow diagram is prepared in both cases....

The exergy efficiency depend upon mainly upon the inlet condition of the system because inlet condition best suit for a particular type of the system except to increase the whole system efficiency stresses are done on particular parts of system and research are done on that systems. It was observed that that every part of system has its own and equal importance because ones effect on another wh...

the exergy analysis is a proper method for performance evaluation of industrial systems. a generic and detailed analysis of the gpcss on the second gas pipeline of iran  is made by the means of exergy. the two main improvement measures of fuel pre-heating and steam injection technologies are presented for the current conventional stations. steady state equations regarding the second law of ther...
