Integrated Study of a Minimum Exergy Destruction Building Conditioning System
Volume 6A: Energy, 2013The relatively low average conversion efficiency of air-conditioning systems and the recently imposed upper bounds to the final energy use in the heating and cooling of residential buildings suggest to consider new approaches to design less energy intensive systems.

Endogenous and Exogenous Exergy Destruction in Thermal Systems
Advanced Energy Systems, 2006One of the roles of exergy analysis is to provide thermal system designers and operators with information useful for the system optimization. An exergy analysis identifies the sources of thermodynamic inefficiencies by evaluating the exergy destruction within each system component.

A conceptual view of exergy destruction in mergers and acquisitions
Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 2019Abstract Company mergers are complex where several firm-specific and contextual factors interact with each other impacting the outcome of the process. Although many firms merge with or acquire others to increase the value of their firms, have more market power and gain more ability to negotiate with suppliers or customers, most of mergers and ...

Description of aquatic ecosystem's development by eco-exergy and exergy destruction
Ecological Modelling, 2007Abstract The respiration rate (energy used for maintenance as g detritus equivalents/m2 y, and the stored eco-exergy as g detritus equivalents/m2 have been found for 26 different aquatic ecosystems. It was shown that the respiration rate has a maximum value for a given type of aquatic ecosystem: 30 g detritus equivalents/m2 y for coral reef, about 12

Exergy destruction minimization of an irreversible Carnot refrigeration cycle
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy, 2007In this paper, exergy destruction minimization has been carried out for an irreversible Carnot refrigeration cycle. The rates of destroyed exergy in various portion of this physical model are derived. The goal of exergy destruction minimization is to minimize the rate of total destroyed exergy of the system. By defining the recovery factor during power

Study on refrigerant circuitry of condenser coils with exergy destruction analysis
Applied Thermal Engineering, 2000Abstract A numerical model of air-cooled condenser coils is proposed to investigate the coil performance. In this model, the properties of refrigerant and air, as well as six exergy destruction components associated with different sources of irreversibility are computed locally along the coil based on numerous control volumes. The governing equations

Exergy Destruction Study on Small DI Diesel Engine
2017In this study, energy and exergy analyses have been carried out using the experimental data for a small naturally aspirated, direct injection, single cylinder, 4 stroke diesel engine. The exergy and performance parameters were computed from the measured data. It has been found that significant exergy destruction occurs at low loads.

Exergy destruction minimization: A principle to convective heat transfer enhancement
International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2018Abstract Enhancing convective heat transfer, by strengthening fluid disturbance, is an effective way of raising the utilization efficiency of an energy system. In this study, in order to introduce a principle for convective heat transfer enhancement, a physical quantity called available potential was defined, and an equation of available potential ...

Optimal control strategy for minimization of exergy destruction in boiler superheater
Energy Conversion and Management, 2013Abstract Steam temperatures in large capacity boilers of modern electric power stations are maintained closely around the design specification by spraying water in the superheater (SH) attemperator to ensure safe and efficient operation and long plant life.
