Conventional and advanced exergy analysis of a single flash geothermal cycle
Highlights The single flash geothermal cycle was subjected to advanced exergy analysis. Endogenous/exogenous and unavoidable/avoidable energy destruction were investigated. The results of the enhanced exergy analysis are distinct and more practical.

Thermal analysis and optimization of a heat regenerator composed of two coupled moving bed heat exchangers [PDF]
This work presents a study to optimize the performance of a heat regenerator composed by two coupled moving bed heat exchangers (MBHE). A MBHE is used to recover heat, from a hot gas stream, and the other one is used to preheat an air stream.

Advanced exergy analysis of an oil shale retorting process [PDF]
Abstract Fushun-type process is the most common method of oil shale retorting used in China. The process is, however, characterized by poor thermodynamic performance. While conventional exergy analysis is able to quantitatively determine exergy destruction in a system, identification of the sources of the exergy destruction, and thus identification ...

Advanced exergy analysis of an aircraft gas turbine engine: Splitting exergy destructions into parts
Abstract Advanced exergy analysis of an aircraft gas turbine engine is presented in this paper. In this framework, the main exergy parameters of the engine components are introduced while the exergy destruction rates within the engine components are split into endogenous/exogenous and avoidable/unavoidable parts.
