Exergetic Analysis of Solar Energy drying Systems

Saving Energy by Exergetic Analysis of MTP Process Refrigeration System

The exergetic analysis is a tool that has been used successfully in many studies aiming a more rational energy consumption to reduce the cost of processes. With this analysis, it is possible to perform an evaluation of the overall process, locating and quantifying the degradation of exergy. This paper applies exergy approach for analyzing the heat exchanger network design and refrigeration of M...

Energetic and Exergetic Analysis of Complex Systems

Exergetic assessment of transmission - concentrated solar energy systems via optical fi bres for building applications

Optical fi bressolar energy transmission and concentration provide a fl exible way of handling concentrated solar energy. Solar lighting with Fibre Optic Bundles (FOBs) can be considered a promising option for energy-effi cient green buildings. This study deals with the exergetic analysis and performance assessment of a system based on the idea of Transmission-Concentrated Solar Energy via Opti...

Energy Systems Analysis for a Solar Economy

Mallapragada, Dharik S. Ph.D., Purdue University, December 2013. Energy Systems Analysis for a Solar Economy. Major Professor: Rakesh Agrawal. The use of solar energy for human needs faces challenges owing to its relatively low energy intensity and intermittent availability, coupled with the constrained availability of renewable carbon and land resources. This study uses systems analysis tools ...

Life Cycle Exergy Analysis of Solar Energy Systems

With a dependence on finite natural resources, increasing energy demands and increasing environmental problems, the use of renewable resources becomes even more important. This is one part of a sustainable development. The ultimate source of most of our renewable energy supplies is the sun. The world’s primary energy use is easily exceeded by the solar energy by a factor of about 10000 [1]. The...
