In the present study, energy and exergy analyses of a simple supercritical, split supercritical cascade CO2 cycle are conducted. The bottoming cycles coupled with main two-stroke diesel engine 6800 TEU container ship. An economic analysis is carried out to calculate total capital cost these installations. functional parameters optimized minimize electricity production (EPC) using genetic algori...

In this paper, the exergoeconomic analysis was conducted to an existing ultra-supercritical coal-fired power plant in China to understand the cost-formation process, to evaluate the economic performance of each component and to find possible solutions for more cost-effective designs. The total revenue requirement (TRR) and the specific exergy costing (SPECO) methods were applied for economic an...

Energy sector plays an important role in country’s economic development and it is going to be more significant in years to come. Managing this growing energy demand at reasonable cost therefore assumes national priority. A multidimensional approach is required keeping in view the various economic options available with effective demand management. Development towards the advances in automobile ...

Many impact assessment methods use weighing factors to agregate the different environmental effects into a single score value for the total impact caused by a product life cycle. The introduction of subjectivity in the decision process during product development, by using this kind of weighting factors, should be avoided. A more objective approach uses indicators based on laws of physics, for e...
