Abstract: A closed-form model for the second-law-based thermoeconomic optimization of a sensible heat storage system, in which the energy is stored in a large liquid bath from a hot-gas source, is ...

Abstract: An analytical model for the second-law-based thermoeconomic analysis and optimization of a sensible-heat-storage system is derived and discussed, in which the storage element is both heated and ...

Abstract: Fouling in heat exchangers is an unavoidable by-product of the heat transfer process. The decision regarding periodic maintenance (cleaning) of the exchangers subject to fouling is generally based ...
