Exergetic performance assessment of a binary geothermal power plant
(Progress in Exergy, Energy, and the Environment, 2014)
Electricity generation is achieved by means of the medium-temperature geothermal water in the range of 90–140 ºC in binary plants with the organic Rankine cycle. So, we investigate a binary geothermal power plant as a case ...
Energy and exergy analysis of a perlite expansion furnace
(Progress in Exergy, Energy, and the Environment, 2014)
Utilization opportunities of perlite have made the product adaptable to numerous applications in the construction, industrial, chemical, horticultural and petrochemical industries. Applications of the perlite include filler, ...
Performance assessment of solar-driven integrated Mg-Cl cycle for hydrogen production
(International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2014)
The present study develops a new solar energy system integrated with a Mg-Cl thermochemical cycle for hydrogen production and analyzes it both energetically and exergetically for efficiency assessment. The solar based ...
A key review of wastewater source heat pump (WWSHP) systems
(Energy Conversion and Management, 2014)
Heat pumps (HPs) are part of the environmentally friendly technologies using renewable energy and have been utilized in the developed countries for years. Wastewater is seen as a renewable heat source for HPs. At the ...
Advanced low exergy (ADLOWEX) modeling and analysis of a building from the primary energy transformation to the environment
(Energy and Buildings, 2014)
The main objective of the present study is to model, analyze and assess a building heating system along with its main components through advanced low exergy method. This method is shortly called ADLOWEX and combines advanced ...
Heat transfer performance and exergy analyses of a corrugated plate heat exchanger using metal oxide nanofluids
(International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer, 2014)
Heat exchangers have been widely used for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another. Nanofluids are potential coolants, which can afford excellent thermal performance in heat exchangers. This study examined the ...
Exergetic performance analysis and comparison of various building heating options
(Proceedings of the 2014 International Conference and Utility Exhibition on Green Energy for Sustainable Development, ICUE 2014, 2014)
Heating, cooling and lighting appliances in buildings account for more than one third of the world's primary energy demand. Therefore, they are considered one of the main parts of the energy consumption in buildings. This ...
Comparing advanced exergetic assessments of two geothermal district heating systems for residential buildings
(Energy and Buildings, 2014)
Advanced exergy analysis method has been increasingly utilized in analyzing and assessing the performance of energy-related systems in recent years due to more deeply investigating the exergy destructions. In this study, ...
Advanced exergy analysis of a trigeneration system with a diesel-gas engine operating in a refrigerator plant building
(Energy and Buildings, 2014)
In this paper, a trigeneration system is analyzed using an advanced exergy analysis. The trigeneration system is located in the Eskisehir Industry Estate Zone in Turkey. The exergy efficiency of the system was found to be ...
Advanced exergoeconomic evaluation of a heat pump food dryer
(Biosystems Engineering, 2014)
In this study, the results of conventional and advanced exergoeconomic analyses of the performance of a pilot scale air-source heat pump food dryer were compared for the first time. The contributions of the components of ...
