Exergy and Economic Analysis of Hybrid Mechanical Vapor Compression and Membrane Distillation
ABSTRACT Hybridization of two or more desalination processes has been identified as an attractive option for improved energy efficiency and recovery rate. To appropriately assess the performance enhancement of hybrid desalination systems, an integrated approach for energy, exergy, economic, and environmental investigations should be adopted. This study

“Exergy based analysis of economic sustainability” [PDF]
Exergy is presented here as the physical prime-mover of economic systems, and an exergy based concept of value is proposed in this paper. The main exergy fluxes are identified as those carried by raw exergy (primary sources), raw materials, usable exergy

Thermodynamic efficiency and entropy production in the climate system [PDF]
We present an outlook on the climate system thermodynamics. First, we construct an equivalent Carnot engine with efficiency and frame the Lorenz energy cycle in a macroscale thermodynamic context.

ABSTRACT The growing impacts of climate change and energy scarcity demand environmentally sustainable refrigeration solutions. This study investigates eco‐friendly refrigerants (R152a, R290 and R600a) and their optimized ternary mixture as alternatives to R134a. Four blend compositions were analysed using experimental testing and REFPROP 10.0 modelling

Transitioning of the Chemical Industry Toward a Net‐Zero Carbon Dioxide Emission Path
One way to reduce the greenhouse gas footprint of the chemical industry to almost zero would be the production of the platform molecules C1‐compounds, olefins, aromatics, and ammonia by non‐fossil pathways. The rest of the chemical production chains could be essentially left unchanged, provided the process energy input is renewable.
