Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDetermination of the Exergy of Four Wheat StrawsYaning Zhang, A. E. Ghaly, Bingxi LiExergy is a measurement of how far a certain material deviates from a state of equilibrium with the environment. It is a useful tool for improving the efficiency of energy-resource use. The exergy values of four wheat straws (Absolvant, Max, Monopol and Vuka) were determined in this study. The effects of physical and chemical properties (moisture content, ash content, LHV … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 7,493 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComprehensive Investigation into the Exergy Values of Six Rice HusksYaning Zhang, A.E. Ghaly, Bingxi LiExergy is a measurement of how far a certain system or material deviates from a state of equilibrium with the environment and it is a useful tool for improving the efficiency of energy-resource use. Based on the previous work, the exergy values of six rice husks were investigated in this study. The effects of physical and chemical properties were also … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 10 Jun 2013 · 7,596 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThermodynamic Analysis of a Marine Refrigeration Machine with AmmoniaMawhoub Soubih, Samir Zahaf, Dahmane Mouloud, Benkhettab MohamedThe purpose of this study is to present a thermodynamic modeling of a marine chiller using ammonia as a refrigerant. The modeling is based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics and the fundamental laws of heat transfer. System performance in terms of coefficient of performance, total exergy losses and exegetic efficiency, have calculated the temperatures of sea water … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 25 Nov 2021 · 6,326 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModelling and Assessment of Effect of Operation Parameters on Gas Turbine Power Plant Performance using First and Second Laws of ThermodynamicsSunday Olayinka Oyedepo, Richard Olayiwola Fagbenle, Samuel Sunday AdefilaIn this study, modelling of gas turbine engine performance is carried out using thermodynamics relations. The model reveals that the influence of operation parameters such as compression ratio, turbine inlet temperature and ambient temperature has significant effect on the performance of gas turbine engine. Energy and exergy analyses were conducted to evaluate the performance of the selected power plant and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 3 May 2017 · 7,920 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExergoeconomic Analysis of a Refrigeration CycleDurriye Bilge, Galip TemirThe exergoeconomic theory is applied to a two stage vapour compression refrigeration cycle. An exergy-aided cost analysis, taking into account pressure drops and heat gain/loss for all of the components in the refrigeration system as well as the pipe connections, has been made. Exergoeconomic factors, showing whether the monetary expenditures mostly originate from capital investment and Operating and Maintenance (O&M) … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2004 · 7,146 accessesView PDF Cite
