THERMOECONOMICS

Journal of Bioeconomics, 2002
Physicist Erwin Schrodinger's (1945) What is Life? has inspired many subsequent efforts to explain biological evolution, especially the evolution of complex systems, in terms of the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the concepts of ‘entropy’ and ‘negative entropy’. However, the problems associated with this paradigm are manifold.

Thermoeconomic evaluation of the SCGT cycle

Energy Conversion and Management, 1999
Abstract The analysis of the SCGT (Semi-Closed Gas Turbine cycle) is extended to the treatment of acid condensation (sulphur compounds) at the exit of the separator (SEP), with reference to different possible configurations already studied from the thermodynamic and environmental points of view. This detailed analysis was considered necessary because

Thermoeconomics and CO2-emissions

Energy, 1990
Abstract Strategies of reducing carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) are evaluated by an optimization model for the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) that was originally designed to optimize the use of primary energy and the costs of the energy system. The model is extended to included a third objective function which monitors the production of carbon ...

Calculation Model of Exergy Cost Based on Thermoeconomics Structure Theory and Thermoeconomics Accounting Mode

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013
Thermoeconomics combines the thermodynamic analysis and economics evaluation, and simultaneously considers the thermodynamics and economics effect of the process of energy conversion in power plant. It becomes the focus of research. This paper mainly discusses the establishment method of the exergy cost equation in thermoeconomics structure theory, at ...

Thermoeconomics as Support for Strategic Accounting

Current Trends in Engineering Science (CTES), 2023
The objective of this reflection article is to demonstrate the applicability of the concept of thermoeconomics as support for strategic management accounting in the chemical industry. The concept of thermoeconomics is described, as well as its applications on energy performance and production process costs.

Thermoeconomics and the Design of Heat Systems

Journal of Engineering for Power, 1970
This paper formulates the interactions between thermodynamics and economics for complex systems in a manner which assures a wise use of nonrenewable energy resources. The concept of “essergy” (generalized potential work) is used to reduce all thermodynamic processes to a common basis of evaluation and comparison.

Thermoeconomic diagnosis and malfunction decomposition: Methodology improvement of the Thermoeconomic Input-Output Analysis (TIOA)

Energy Conversion and Management, 2018
Abstract Faults and malfunctions occurring in engineering systems may cause additional resources consumptions and economic expenditures, thus their detection and isolation is of great practical significance. The procedure to discover faults is known as diagnosis, and it can be based on different techniques, depending on the purpose of the analysis ...

Fuzzy thermoeconomic optimisation

International Journal of Exergy, 2005
The aim of the present work is to include an uncertainty into classic thermoeconomic analysis in order to find solutions that simultaneously satisfy thermodynamic and economic goals. Thermoeconomic optimisation has been considered as a fuzzy nonlinear programming problem where local criteria: maximum energy (exergy) efficiency and minimum total cost ...

Thermoeconomic analysis of a trigeneration system

Applied Thermal Engineering, 2004
In this study a trigeneration plant which produces electrical power with a natural gas fed reciprocating engine and which yields absorption cooling by making use of exhaust gases of the system has been examined. In order to use both energy and financial resources most efficiently, the thermoeconomic analysis method which gives the most accurate and ...

Structural theory as standard for thermoeconomics

Energy Conversion and Management, 1999
In this paper the Structural Theory of Thermoeconomics is proposed as a standard and common mathematical formulation for all thermoeconomic methodologies employing thermoeconomic models that can be expressed by linear equations. In previous works it has been demonstrated that the Exergy Cost Theory (ECT), the AVCO approach and the Thermoeconomic ...
