Exergetic performance analysis of a solar pond
International Journal of Thermal Sciences, 2008In this paper we present an experimental and theoretical investigation of the exergetic performance of a solar pond (with a surface area of 4 m2 and a depth of 1.5 m) which was built at Cukurova University in Adana, Turkey. The system was filled with salty water to form three zones (e.g., upper convective, non-convective and heat storage) accordingly ...

Exergetic sustainability analysis of industrial furnace: a case study
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2020Industrial furnaces play a significant role in industrial energy consumption and production. Minimizing losses from these furnaces can contribute to industrial sustainability. Exergy being an optimization tool can reduce energy loss and emission from furnaces and contribute to environmental sustainability.

Exergetic analysis of a solar thermoelectric generator
Energy, 2015Abstract Recently, thermoelectric modules have been considered as possible replacement to solar photovoltaic system due to its potential for combined heat and power. In the designs of solar thermoelectric cogeneration systems, a careful compromise has to be made between thermal energy and electrical power.

Exergetic analysis of atomization process of liquid
Fuel, 1984Abstract The exergy balance equation for liquid atomization is discussed and exergetic efficiency of atomization is defined. On the basis of data taken from the literature some calculations of this efficiency have been carried out for the most widespread cases of atomization, i.e., for pressure and pneumatic atomization.

Drying Technology, 2010
This study, which consists of two parts, deals with the exergy analyses and assessments of the direct gas–heated (DGHS) and hot oil–heated (HOHS) stenters. In the first part, a new model for the exergetic analysis of the convective drying of textiles at stenters was presented and the variations of exergetic parameters for each chamber of the stenter ...

Exergetic cost analysis of a space heating system
Energy and Buildings, 2010Abstract In order to evaluate and improve the design of space heating systems with groundwater source heat pumps (GWHP), common design practices should be examined. In this paper, a GWHP system with common design is studied. The COP of the heat pump is 3.5 at design condition.

Exergetic Analysis of Ethanol and Gasoline Fueled Engines
SAE Technical Paper Series, 1992<div class="htmlview paragraph">This work is based upon a simulation model for spark-ignition engines that considers the instantaneous heat transfer, the combustion process occurring at a finite rate as well as intake and exhaust processes. The model calculates the thermodynamic properties - including exergy - of each gas mixture composition of ...

Exergetic performance analysis of a recirculating aquaculture system
Energy Conversion and Management, 2010This paper examines exergetic aspects of a Recirculation Aquaculture System (RAS) for Black Sea trout (Salmo trutta labrax) fingerling rearing at the Trabzon Central Fisheries Research Institute, Turkey. In its thermodynamic analysis, each component of the RAS is treated as a steady-state steady flow system and its exergetic efficiencies are studied ...

Analysis of the Energetic- and Exergetic Sustainability of Complex Systems
Thermodynamics and the Design, Analysis, and Improvement of Energy Systems, 1995Abstract The paper presents the application of a general society/environment interaction model to a real modern industrial society: the Italian system. As described in [3], the energetic and exergetic flow diagrams of a complex system can be represented, from resource extraction to end use, in a highly aggregated and ...
