RISA Decomposition Strategy for Thermoeconomic Optimization
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An optimal thermal design of a considered system configuration is conveniently decided when the system is modeled as made up of one thermodynamic subsystem and of the essential number of design ...
An Information Theory Approach to Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This is an attempt to establish a simple approach to nonequilibrium thermodynamics. A generalized entropy is formulated from an information theory viewpoint and from a thermodynamic viewpoint. ...
A Second-Law-Based Optimization: Part 1—Methodology
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper deals with the optimization of complex energy systems given a cost objective function. The optimization uses a decomposition strategy based on the second law of thermodynamics and a ...
A Second-Law-Based Optimization: Part 2—Application
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper deals with an application of the second-law-based optimization methodology described in Part 1 of this paper. The methodology is applied to a simple energy system of 10 components ...
Thermoeconomics and the Design of Heat Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: 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” ...
Application of the Thermoeconomic Approach to the Analysis and Optimization of a Vapor-Compression Desalting System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A conventional vapor-compression desalting system is analyzed thermodynamically and economically by the concepts of essergy and internal economy. Thermodynamic analysis using the concept of essergy ...
The Integration of Synthesis and Optimization for Conceptual Designs of Energy Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The evolutionary process of system synthesis and the mathematical process of system optimization are integrated in one do-it-yourself software. A large number of flowsheet arrangements can be ...

Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The following article completes the review of the development and state of engineering economic applications of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, which was begun in Part I (El-Sayed and Gaggioli, ...
A Critical Review of Second Law Costing Methods—I: Background and Algebraic Procedures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The following report reviews the development and state of engineering economic applications of the second law of thermodynamics. It encompasses virtually all of the work carried out publicly in ...
Second Law Efficiency and Costing Analysis of a Combined Power and Desalination Plant
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Flow diagrams for exergy have been made for Unit 2 at the Umm Al Nar West power plant in Abu Dhabi. This unit is one of six in a combined power and desalination facility, each delivering ...
