This research performs the advanced exergy and exergoeconomic analyses of a combined cycle power plant (CCPP) located in Zavareh, Iran. The objective of this research is to evaluate the irreversibilities, their related cost rates of each part of the CCPP that can be avoided and the inefficiencies of each part that caused by other components. The advanced exergy and exergoeconomic analyses indic...

In this study, optimization of Qeshm power and water desalting cogeneration plant has been investigated. The objective functions are related to maximizing exergetic efficiency and minimization of exergoeconomic and exergoenvironmental parameters. Also, the integration of RO desalination with the existing plant has been evaluated based on these analyses. This plant includes two MAPNA 25 MW gas t...

In this study, 4E (energy, exergy, exergoeconomic, and exergoenvironmental) analysis of an underfloor heating system integrated with the geothermal heat pump a greenhouse usage area 90 m2 has been made. When results applied to its elements were examined, energy efficiency in winter months determined be 77.85% exergy 30.61%. According exergoeconomic analysis, levelized cost as 0.894 dollar/h, un...

in this study, the performance of an irreversible regenerative brayton cycle is sought through power maximizations using finite-time thermodynamic concept in finite-size components. optimizations are performed using a genetic algorithm. in order to take into account the finite-time and finite-size concepts in the current problem, a dimensionless mass-flow rate parameter is used to deploy time v...

In this paper, a novel integrated system is proposed to improve the performance of a conventional low-grade geothermal-based organic Rankine cycle (ORC). The main idea is to utilize two TEG units to recover the waste heat of the condenser and geothermal brine. The proposed model is investigated and compared with simple ORC from the energy, exergy, and exergoeconomic viewpoints through the param...
