A 2nd law thermodynamic analysis with exergy analysis can provide a more robust means of accounting for all of the energy flows within and in between subsystems and the work potential. These energy flows may be thermal, chemical, electrical, pneumatic, etc. Some systems such as air or ground ...
The objective of this study is to determine the CExC values of the principal energy carriers in China, which is the largest energy producer in the world, through the matrix method (balance equation). The results show that electricity has the largest CExC value among different energy carriers, followed by oil–refining products, coal products and ...
Analysis of energy and exergy has been performed for a double–pass thermoelectric (TE) solar air collector. ...
The fuel specific consumption was taken as the primary indicator to investigate the specific consumption for each section. The Energy-flow Framework Diagram (EFD) was undertaken to modify the system, such as controlling the operating temperature and strengthening insulation. It is concluded that the specific consumption of the system is about 0.19 m³/kWh, taking ...
This paper describes a modelling tool that integrates Material Flow Analysis, energy production and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions accounting for biomass flows at a regional scale. This tool allows comprehensive analysis of alternative systems for management of biomass waste and bioenergy production in regional ...
This study presents an analysis of the energy and exergy utilisation of the Jordanian urban residential sector by considering the flows of energy and exergy through the main end uses and applications in Jordanian households. To achieve this purpose, a survey covering 200 households was conducted and energy ...
The City of Cape Town has recently drafted an energy strategy and an integrated waste management plan. The creative implementation of these strategies requires knowledge of potential sources of energy and flows of waste. ...
Estimates for mine tailings, smelter slag, mine overburden, stock buildup, loss of copper discards to the landfills, and energy and water use requirements have been presented based upon scenario analysis results of three alternative copper futures. ...
A meta-modelling approach is employed that couples the results of a simulation model with regression analysis to construct numerical functionals that quantify the fiscal regime. ...
In this study, energy and exergy analysis are applied to the experimental data of an internal combustion engine operating on the conventional Otto cycle. The data are collected using an engine test unit which enables accurate measurements of fuel flow rate, combustion air flow rate, engine load, engine speed and all the relevant ...
Industrial recycling networks can be very effective in minimising impacts on the environment through material cycles and energy cascades within the industrial system. However, up to date, these have mainly been studied with material and energy flow analysis methods with only few attempts to address the human-dimension of the ...
Our vision for this new journal is to bridge the material and energy flow analysis and studies of industrial ecology to business, management and organisational studies, including the now established discipline of corporate environmental management. ...
