Exergy efficiency of ammonia production

open access: yes, 2018
© 2018 eceee and the authors, Stockholm. The chemical industry is responsible for roughly 6 % of global primary energy consumption and global greenhouse gas emissions, as well as a key fossil-fuel user (Cullen and Allwood 2010). Material and energy efficiency are the focus of industrial and policy decision-makers but are often pursued as separate ...

Effects of Camber of S‐Series Airfoils on Aerodynamic Performance, Entropy Generation Rate, Irreversibility, and Second Law Efficiency of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Due to the depletion of fossil fuels, enhancing wind turbine efficiency is crucial. Utilizing airfoils with high lift‐to‐drag ratios significantly improves power generation by optimizing aerodynamic parameters. Furthermore, entropy generation analysis serves as an effective method for design optimization by minimizing energy losses and exergy ...

Glazing Effects on Dynamic‐Insulation TSC Façades: A CFD‐Supported Experimental Study of Flow, Heat Transfer, and Ventilation Preheating

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Glazed transpired solar collectors achieve 48–75% efficiency and 11% more seasonal heat than unglazed designs by cutting convective losses, while both offer complementary benefits for ventilation preheating and dynamic wall insulation, with paybacks of 5.5–6.8 years.

The ambient temperature influence on deaerator exergy efficiency and exergy losses [PDF]

open access: yesIV International Scientific Conference Summer Session Industry 4.0: Proceedings, 2019
The exergy analysis of deaerator at three different steam power plant loads is performed in this paper. Also, the influence of the ambient temperature change on deaerator exergy efficiency and losses is analyzed. From the exergy viewpoint, deaerator operation shows the best characteristics at middle and high power plant loads.

Securing Water in a Changing Climate: A Transient Solar Desalination Model for the Sundarbans, Bangladesh

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract presents a solar‐powered reverse osmosis (RO) system for the Sundarbans, Bangladesh. Mechanistic modeling reveals a critical seasonal mismatch: during the monsoon, feed water salinity peaks (24.8 ppt) while solar irradiance drops significantly.

Using Exergy Analysis Methodology to Assess the Heating Efficiency of an Electric Heat Pump [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The authors, using exergy analysis methodology, propose that it should consider not only the COP (coefficient of Performance) value of the electric power heat pump set (EPHPS/or HP set), but also the exergy loss at the heating exchanger of the HP set to ...
