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 general equilibrium, irreversibility a ects both the wealth of consumers and the return on assets. As long as the inter-temporal elasticity of substitution is realistically low, irreversibility not only prevents capital destruction, but it also induces capital creation. Furthermore, under certain conditions, irreversibility raises the risk premium by increasing the variability of consumption...

The POXR and SMR methods adopted in producing hydrogen from methane gas are simulated and exergy analysis of both the processes are run for comparison. The effective parameters of the feeding materials ratio and the system temperature for maximizing hydrogen production and increasing efficiency are assessed here. Influenced by the changes in these parameters the unit efficiency is increased up ...

in this paper the effect of block shape vortex generators (vgs) on an air-water fin-tube heat exchanger has been studied experimentally using exergy analysis method. also the effect of these vgs on increasing heat transfer rate has been simulated numerically and the results show a good agreement with the experiments. in this research we used a wind tunnel to produce wind flow over heat exchange...

The purpose of this research is in-depth understanding the internal causes exergy destruction in various parts system and to identify potential improvements for components. focus on a combined cycle power generation that utilizes organic Rankine (ORC) direct expansion (DEC). To investigate primary sources each component, advanced analysis (AEA) utilized. result demonstrates net out proposed can...

On the basis of the exergy analysis, a performance optimization is carried out for a generalized irreversible refrigerator model, which takes into account the heat resistance, heat leakage and internal irreversibility losses. A new ecological criterion, named coefficient of performance of exergy (COPE), defined as the dimensionless ratio of the exergy output rate to the exergy loss rate, is pro...

A thermodynamic analysis of the irreversibility on solar absorption refrigerators is presented. Under the hierarchical decomposition and the hypothesis of an endoreversible model, many functional and practical domains are defined. The effect of external heat source temperature on the entropy rate and on the inverse specific cooling load (ISCL) multiplied by the total area of the refrigerator A/...

In this study exergy and exergoeconomic analyses of a refrigeration system with two evaporators and an internal heat exchanger were performed. The analysis of the whole system included various thermodynamics parameters such as sustainability index, exergetic improvement potential, ratio of the thermodynamic losses(energetic and exergetic losses) to the capital cost, relative irreversibility for...
