A Virtual-system Concept for Exergy Analysis of Flow Network Plant; Part II: Exergetic and Exergonomic Analysis Illustration

Jim McGovern, Francis O'Toole

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

This paper is a continuation of Part I — Principles, to which it refers extensively. The virtual system concept and the methodology introduced in Part I are illustrated by means of a numerical example. This is an exergetic and exergoeconomic analysis of the CHP steam plant that was described in Part I without operating values and parameters. Matrix methods developed by Valero et al. (1986) are adapted to the new concept. It is shown that these methods are made simpler and less subjective. Bond-graph-type diagrams for exergetic and economic costs are presented.
