Exergy destruction in adiabatic pipeline flow of surfactant-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions is investigated in five … exergy destruction rate per unit pipe length increases linearly with the increase in the Reynolds number on a log-log scale … in both laminar and turbulent regimes. However the slope in the turbulent regime is higher. The exergy destruction rate …

The second law of thermodynamics and, specifically, exergy analysis have been traditionally used for the assessment and … optimization of energy systems. Nevertheless, as shown in this paper, exergy could also constitute a powerful tool for the … evaluation of mineral commodities. That said, new or re-defined exergy-based concepts need to be developed. This paper presents …

Lowering the exergy content of heat required for heating purposes decreases the primary energy consumption. District … heating systems are often an important link between facilities that generate heat with low exergy content and consumers … methodology for an exergy-based distribution-network analysis in a district heating system. Criteria for performance evaluations …

directly in a building wall to reduce transmission heat losses. The Active Low Exergy Geothermal Insulation Systems (ALEGIS …) minimizes exergy demand and maximizes the use of renewable geothermal heat from the ground. A fluid is pumped into a small pipe … exergy input. We present an overview of the operation and analysis of our low exergy concept and its modeled performance. …

constraints, in order to minimize the overall exergy destruction, <em>i.e.</em>, to move up the exergy efficiency of the entire …, operating as simple and cascade cycles, were investigated. Combined exergy analysis and pinch optimization was performed to … identify the potential of various working fluids, by their properties, to overcome the global irreversibility according to the …
