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...

In this paper, performance analysis of a hybrid photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) greenhouse air heater and dryer has been carried out. Analytical expressions have been developed for • greenhouse air temperature, instantaneous and overall energy and exergy efficiencies for without load and • instantaneous exergy efficiency with load under forced mode operation. An experimental validation has been car...

In this paper exergy analysis is used to assess the performance of the three most common air conditioning plant schemes: all-air, dual-duct and fan-coil systems. The results are presented in terms of flow diagrams to provide a clear picture of the exergy flow across the systems. The most relevant outcomes are that the air cooling and dehumidification is the process most responsible for the exer...

This paper applies an exergy-based method on the two-dimensional airfoil and various threedimensional wing planforms to investigate the impact of exergy on aerodynamic designs. Our intent here is to report our efforts to couple a numerical code with an exergy analysis, a shape shifting algorithm and an optimization code to achieve desired airfoil and wing shapes. Exergy-based optimization is pe...

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...

the first and second laws of thermodynamics have been employed to evaluate energy and exergetic efficiency of the single effect absorption chiller which is used for air conditioning purpose. the performance analysis has been carried out by developing a computer program in ees and modeling the chiller and its components. to evaluate entropy of the water/lithium bromide solution at any point, an ...
