Energetic, Exergetic, and Economic Analysis of MED-TVC Water Desalination Plant with and without Preheating

Multi objective optimization of the MED-TVC system with exergetic and heat transfer analysis

The mathematical model to predict the performance and the exergetic efficiency in a multi-effect desalination system with thermal vapor compression (MED-TVC system) has been presented. The energy and the concentration conservation law were developed for each effect, considering the boiling point elevation and the various thermodynamic losses by developing the mathematical models. These analyses...

Energetic and Exergetic Analysis of Internal Combustion Engine Cogeneration System

In this article, the first and second law analysis of diesel engine based cogeneration system was performed. Fuel utilization efficiency, rate of power, and rate of process heat of the plant were determined and various efficiencies based on both energy and exergy methods and the performance assessment parameters are defined for both the system components and the entire cogeneration plant. The o...

Energetic and Exergetic Analysis of Complex Systems

Economic, Energetic and Exergetic Study of a Water Tank including Pcm Modules Inside

The Research Group in Applied Energy (GREA) started a research work on Phase Change Materials (PCMs) in 1999. Since then we have been working on different aspects of these materials and have carried out a substantial amount of experiments (thickening, corrosion, heat transfer enhancement) in the laboratory with various types of phase change materials: paraffins, salt hydrates and even fatty aci...

Techno-Economic Analysis of a Parallel and Serially Arrayed Hybrid MED-RO Desalination Unit: Case Study of Qeshm Island

In recent years, Supplying sustainable water resources in waterless areas can be considered as some of the  major problems in Iran. Presently, there are two conventional systems for desalination technique i.e MED and RO to produce drinkable water, eventhought each ones have its advantages and disadvantages. In this research two integrated system including  series and parallel configurations of ...
