This paper presents a conceptual development of sustainability evaluation, through an exergy-based indicator, by using the new concept Thermoeconomic Environment (TEE). The accounting methods here considered as background are Extended Exergy Accounting (EEA), which can be used to quantify exergy cost externalities like labor, monetary inputs, and pollutants, Cumulative Consumption (CExC), consu...

In the present study, exhaust gases from Tehran refinery crude oil furnace are used in a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG)for generating steam. Then, the steam is directed to a double effect absorption refrigeration cycle to produce cooling. To meet the object, mass and energy balance equations of the coupling is carried out for both the HRSG and the absorption chiller and unknown thermodyna...

This work develops a software to control and diagnose building thermal facilities based on thermoeconomics. It is tested with the data obtained from three blocks in Basque Country (northern Spain) aim of detecting potential energy saving points mitigating environmental impacts. Some obstacles, solved, are related insufficient number probes inherent errors sensors. Besides, new methodologies for...

Waste to fuel conversion has attracted prominence due higher demand, waste disposal issues, and environmental economic impact. Therefore, an alternative approach for addressing the issue of tire can be provided by using pyrolysis oil (TPO). The energy, exergy, thermoeconomic sustainability studies TPO-diesel blends were carried out in this study. analysis was compared with biodiesel-diesel blen...

The anaerobic digestion of the organic fraction municipal solid waste and biogas production obtained from its stabilization are becoming an increasingly attractive solution, due to their beneficial effects on environment. In this way, is considered a resource allowing reduction in quantity it going landfills derived greenhouse gas emissions. Simultaneously, upgrading process into biomethane can...
