Energy quality in each country is one of the important indicators economic development, Which affects growth that country. Exergy analysis, considering all flow properties including pressure, temperature, composition, a powerful way to evaluate energy consumption equipment such as natural gas and liquefied plants. Inefficiency system can be defined by conventional exergy analysis method, while,...

Exergy, or availability, is a thermodynamic concept representing the useful work that can be extracted from system evolving given state to reference state. It also metric, formulated first and second law of thermodynamics, encompassing interactions between subsystems resulting entropy generation. In this paper, an exergy-based analysis for ground vehicles proposed. The study, authors' knowledge...

-Starting with information from Indian Point 1, a full size nuclear plant with fossil-fuel superheat which was built and operated, this paper examines the effect of superheat on both energy and exergy performance, as well as on the thermoeconomics of such plants. The study finds that adding superheat to the nearly saturated steam generated by water-cooled nuclear reactors increases the amount o...

This research is concerned with the design and analysis of a geothermal based multi-generation system by applying both conventional and advanced exergy and exergoeconomic concepts. The proposed energy system consists of a dual-organic Rankine cycle (ORC) to vaporize liquefied natural gas (LNG) and produce electricity. A proton exchange membrane(PEM) electrolyzer is employed to produce hydrogen ...

This study proposes the concept of the local heat loss coefficient and examines the calculation method for the average heat loss coefficient and the average absorber plate temperature. It also presents an exergy analysis model of flat plate collectors, considering non-uniformity in temperature distribution along the absorber plate. The computation results agree well with experimental data. The ...

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...

In this article, the first and second law analysis of diesel engine based cogeneration system was performed. Fuel utilization efficiency, rate of power, and rate of process heat of the plant were determined and various efficiencies based on both energy and exergy methods and the performance assessment parameters are defined for both the system components and the entire cogeneration plant. The o...

Usually efficiency is defined in energetic terms without taking into account the quality of the energy. Another way to analyse and optimise processes and systems is in terms of exergy. The concept of exergy incorporates both qualitative and quantitative properties of energy. Exergy analysis makes the exact determination of the energetic and resource saving potential of industrial processes or s...

Assessments of the feasibility of decoupling energy consumption from economic growth could benefit from an improved understanding of the size, nature and value of different energy flows. This understanding may be enhanced by focusing upon so-called “useful exergy”—a measure of both the quantity and “quality” of energy (defined here as its thermodynamic ability to perform physical work) at the “...
