Olexan: A Tool for Online Exergy Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Exergy analysis is important and has been widely used to evaluate the thermodynamic efficiency of a variety of processes. Therefore, there is a need to develop a tool for monitoring exergy of a process in real-time and for studying the effects of various feed, equipment, process and environmental changes. The ultimate aim of this work is to develop a tool to enable dynamic and online exergy analysis in an interactive manner at various levels of equipment, process, and plant. However, in this paper, we develop methods for the online analysis of exergy in various units of a base-load liquefied natural gas (LNG) process.
