Advanced exergy analysis and exergoeconomic performance evaluation of thermal processes in an existing industrial plant

摘要

Exergy analysis and exergoeconomics are often used to evaluate industrial energy systems performance from the thermodynamic and economic points of view. While the classical exergy analysis can be used to recognize the sources of inefficiency and irreversibilities, so called advanced exergy analysis is convenient for identifying real potential for thermodynamic improvements of the system by splitting exergy destruction into avoidable and unavoidable parts.
