In this thesis, several configurations of combined cycle cogeneration systems proposed by the author and an existing system, the Bilkent Combined Cycle Cogeneration Plant, are investigated by energy, exergy and thermoeconomic analyses. In each of these configurations, varying steam demand is considered rather than fixed steam demand. Basic thermodynamic properties of the systems are determined by energy analysis utilizing main operation conditions. Exergy destructions within the system and exergy losses to environment are investigated to determine thermodynamic inefficiencies in the system and to assist in guiding future improvements in the plant. Among the different approaches for thermoeconomic analysis in literature, SPECO method is applied. Since the systems have more than one product (process steam and electrical power), systems are divided into several subsystems and cost balances are applied together with the auxiliary equations. Hence, cost of each product is calculated. Comparison of the configurations in terms of performance assessment parameters and costs per unit of exergy are also given in this thesis.

Experimental investigation of R134a flow in a 1.65 mm copper minitube Tekin, Bilgehan; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Kakaç, S.; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) This thesis investigates the refrigerant (R-134a) flow in a minitube experimentally. The small scale heat transfer is a relatively new research area and has been in favor since the end of 1970’s. Refrigerant flow in mini- and microscale media is a potential enhancement factor for refrigeration technology in the future. For the forthcoming developments and progresses, experimental studies are invaluable in terms of having an insight and contributing to the establishment of infrastructure in the field in addi...
Thermodynamic and thermoeconomic comparison of combined cycle cogeneration systems Colpan, Can O.; Yesin, Tulay (2006-01-01) In this paper, several configurations of combined cycle cogeneration systems are investigated by energy, exergy and thermoeconomic analyses. In each of these configurations, varying steam demand is considered rather than fixed steam demand. Among the different approaches for thermoeconomic analysis in the literature, the specific exergy costing method is applied. Since the systems have more than one product (process steam and electrical power), systems are divided into several sub-systems and cost balances ...
A model for long-term global air quality prediction and development of efficient control strategies in Turkey Kumbaroglu, GS (1997-10-16) This paper presents an environmental model which differentiates fuel consumption by sectoral use and allows for the reduction of emissions by coupling different emission control technologies to energy conversion and end-use activities. The model can be coupled to any energy model for forecasting air pollutant emissions and developing efficient emission control strategies. An energy-economy module has been integrated into the model and an equilibrium solution for the three-component model is obtained by util...
Energetic, exergetic and thermoeconomic analysis of Bilkent combined cycle cogeneration plant Colpan, C. Ozgur; Yesin, Tulay (Wiley, 2006-09-01) This paper is a case study of thermodynamics and economics related analyses applied to an existing gas/steam combined cycle cogeneration plant. Basic thermodynamic properties of the plant are determined by energy analysis utilizing main operation conditions. Exergy destructions within the plant and exergy losses to environment are investigated to determine thermodynamic inefficiencies and to assist for guiding future improvements in the plant. Cost balances and auxiliary equations are applied to several sub...
A study of laminar forced film condensation of vapor flowing in cross-flow direction through the annular space between two concentric cylinders Atılgan, Ahmet Koray; Yamalı, Cemil; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006) In this study laminar forced film condensation of vapor flowing in cross-flow direction through the annular space between two concentric cylinders was investigated numerically. To achieve this, governing equations of the vapor and the condensate flow in cross-flow direction between two concentric cylinders were developed. After obtaining the equations in integral forms by using the finite difference technique the vapor boundary layer thicknesses on the inner and outer cylinders and the condensate layer thic...
