The Exergy Fields in Processes
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is a very brief review of the method for analyzing the space and time dependent exergy and irreversibility fields in processes. It presents the basic equations, the method for their use, and three examples from the work of the author and his former graduate students: flow desiccation, combustion of oil droplets, and combustion of pulverized coal. Conclusions from this Second Law analysis are used to attempt process improvement suggestions.

متن کاملExergy Analysis of Vapour and Sorption Cooling Processes
Exergy is precious energy. On the basis of thermodynamic analysis of thermal processes, one can choose more exergy-saving devices. This is especially important in refrigeration processes, in which the consumption of energy and exergy increases considerably with the falling cooling temperature. The exergy efficiency in terms of exergy losses of vapour compression and sorption cooling processes i...
