Both thermoeconomic accounting and emergy analysis methodologies deal with energy systems and are aimed at allocating … focuses on energy systems converting the energy of fuel/s into the desired product/s. The latter amplifies the perspective by …, either devices or material and energy flows. …

zone combustion model is developed to simulate the natural gas fueled HCCI engine. Also, the performance of AWCC is … both the AWCC and the tri-generation system are investigated in detail. The cycle performance is then optimized for the … fuel energy saving ratio (FESR). The enhancement in the FESR could be up to 28.56%. Under optimized condition, the second …

The results show the exergy analyses for a steam cycle system predict the plant efficiency more precisely … for increasing the net power output and efficiency. To evaluate the energy utilization, one combined cycle unit and one …

The exergy method is used to compare different production processes and various methods for emission abatement with … exergy input and cumulative exergy consumption …

flow of cumulative exergy in the 488-sector benchmark economic input–output model in two different ways. Industrial … cumulative exergy consumption (ICEC) captures the exergy of all natural resources consumed directly and indirectly by each … economic sector, while ecological cumulative exergy consumption (ECEC) also accounts for the exergy consumed in ecological …

Also a parametric study is conducted to optimize the performance of each cycle under … various operating conditions. The proposed cycles exhibit a reasonable value of COP (coefficient of performance) with a much …

This paper makes an assessment of the exergy loss of the main minerals produced in the world throughout the 21st … century, namely coal, oil, natural gas, iron, aluminium and copper. The reason for using the exergy analysis as an assessment …, composition and quantity. Furthermore, using the same unit of measurement (energy) means all minerals considered can be compared …
