Cogeneration may be defined as a system which contains electricity production and regain of the thermo value of exhaust gases simultaneously. The examination is based on the data’s of an active cogeneration plant. This study, it is aimed to determine which component of the system should be revised first to raise the efficiency and decrease the loss of exergy. For this purpose, second law analys...

In this study, exergy analysis of a novel desalination system is presented and discussed. The water desalination is carried out using combined humidification-dehumidification and reverse osmosis technologies. Six system performance parameters are examined: overall exergetic efficiency, equivalent electricity consumption, specific exergy destruction, specific exergy lost, and total true specific...

nowadays, energy plays an important role in the economic and community development of country. consequently, performance analysis of energy systems is one of the effective methods being used to prevent waste of energy resources. among the different power generation technologies, steam power plants make a significant contribution to power generation in iran, with a share of 47 % of electricity g...

In this study, the first and the second laws of thermodynamics (exergetic analysis) are used to analyse the performance of a single stage ammonia-water absorption cooling system operating under different working conditions. In this analysis, the performance of the system is simulated under various operating temperatures: the condenser and absorber (30 and 40°C), evaporator (-10°C, 0°C and +10°C...

in this research, energetic andexergetic analysis of calcium oxide formation, co2 emissions, andenvironmental effects during the clinker production process in rotary kilnare investigated. first the energy and exergy analysis of rotary kiln were carried out according to the first and second law of thermodynamics based on dead state, respectively. consequently, the amount of co2 emissions associa...

Research in the last 15 years has led to die-less incremental forming processes that are close to realization in an industrial setup. Whereas many studies have been carried out with the intention of investigating technical abilities and economic consequences, the ecological impact of incremental sheet forming (ISF) has not been studied so far. Using the concept of exergy analysis, two ISF techn...

This study proposes the concept of the local heat loss coefficient and examines the calculation method for the average heat loss coefficient and the average absorber plate temperature. It also presents an exergy analysis model of flat plate collectors, considering non-uniformity in temperature distribution along the absorber plate. The computation results agree well with experimental data. The ...

The present paper describes the energy and exergy analysis of a reheat regenerative vapor power cycle. The plant consists of one boiler feed pump, one supercritical boiler, two steam turbines with a reheater in between, two feed water heaters (one open and one closed) and a condenser. The energy and exergy balance study has been carried-out for each component of the plant. Energy efficiency, ex...

In this paper, exergy and exergoeconomic analysis is performed on the recently proposed process forthe coproduction of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and natural gas liquids (NGL) based on the mixedfluid cascade (MFC) refrigeration systems, as one of the most important and popular natural gasliquefaction processes. To carry out this analysis, at first, the proposed process is sim...
