We welcome you to the 27th IEEE International Conference on Application-specific Systems, Architectures and Processors (ASAP 2016). This year’s event takes place in London, United Kingdom on the campus of the Imperial College London. Prior to this year’s visit to London, the conference has been held in many places around the globe including Oxford (1986), San Diego (1988), Killarney (1989), Pri...

C3MR, MFC, and DMR processes in an integrated LNG-NGL-NRU structure are investigated using the conventional and advanced exergy and exergoeconomic analyses. The results of advanced exergy analysis reveal that in most of the equipment, the highest amount of irreversibility is occurred because of endogenous exergy destruction. In C3MR process, compressor C5 with 9730 kW; in MFC process, compresso...

Abstract Energy cost and consumption are increasing, so that efficiency becomes more important, from the production to end users. reserves limited; increasing demand environmental concerns make important. To provide cost-effective clean power generation, gas turbines cogeneration becoming key technology must be researched developed. Three different cycles analyzed by using first second laws of ...

In this study, an integrated structure of the air separation unit, natural gas liquids recovery equipped with nitrogen removal unit is developed. In this regard, advanced exergy and exergoeconomic analyses are used to examine the irreversibility, possible improvements and the cost of the inefficiencies of the process. The exergy analysis presents information on the origin of the irreversibility...

In this work, a comprehensive energetic and exergetic comparative assessment is presented for the simple solar organic Rankine cycle (SORC), regenerative (RORC), dual-loop (DORC), considering parameters such as net power produced, exergy destruction, exergy, energy efficiency in four zones located Colombia due to their high irradiation potential. The balances were applied each system component,...

Biogas can be currently considered as an alternative option for electricity production, mainly due to its high energy content (hydrocarbon-rich source), its renewable status and its relatively low utilization cost. Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) stacks convert fuel’s chemical energy to electricity with high efficiencies and reveal significant advantages on fuel flexibility combined with lower emi...
