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 are applied together with the auxiliary equations. Hence, the cost rate 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 study. In conclusion, it is found that combined cycle cogeneration systems with extraction-condensing steam turbines are thermodynamically and thermoeconomically more advantageous when compared to those with back-pressure steam turbines.

Second law anlysis of solid oxide fuel cells Bulut, Başar; Yamalı, Cemil; Yüncü, Hafit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003) In this thesis, fuel cell systems are analysed thermodynamically and electrochemically. Thermodynamic relations are applied in order to determine the change of first law and second law efficiencies of the cells, and using the electrochemical relations, the irreversibilities occuring inside the cell are investigated. Following this general analysis, two simple solid oxide fuel cell systems are examined. The first system consists of a solid oxide unit cell with external reformer. The second law efficiency cal...
Thermoeconomic optimization of simple refrigerators Dingec, H; Ileri, A (1999-09-01) Thermoeconomic optimization of simple refrigerators is formulated and applied to a specific case. Condenser and evaporator areas and compressor efficiency are selected as the independent design variables of the system components. Exergy analysis is carried out to find local and total irreversibilities. Costs assigned for exergy losses are combined with capital and recovery costs, and equations for thermoeconomic optimum of components are derived. Finally, as a case study, the equations are solved to determi...
Composite index for benchmarking local energy systems of Mediterranean port cities Kılkış, Şiir (2015-12-01) Benchmarking the performance of local energy systems requires an integrated approach. This paper develops a composite index that consists of a unique set of 7 dimensions and 35 main indicators. The SDEWES (Sustainable Development of Energy, Water, and Environment Systems) Index is applied to a sample of 22 Mediterranean port cities. The index integrates energy and CO2 emissions data from SEAP (Sustainable Energy Action Plans). The values of the indicators are aggregated based on the Min-Max method for a fin...
Exergetic optimization of generated electric power split in a heat pump coupled poly-generation system Kilkis, Birol I.; Kılkış, Şiir (2007-01-01) This study analyzes environmental, energy, and economical benefits of a ground source heat pump, coupled poly-generation system by incorporating exergy into the energy efficiency analysis. Two additional terms, namely the rational exergy efficiency and the coefficient of performance were introduced to the primary energy savings equation in the European Union Directive 2004/8/EC. Based on the new equation, an optimization algorithm was developed, which can quantify the environmental, energy and economy benef...
Kinetic analysis of in situ combustion processes with thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric analysis and reaction tube experiments Kök, Mustafa Verşan (1995-01-01) This research comprises the determination of kinetic parameters of in situ combustion processes by reaction tube and thermal (thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)/differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTGA)) experiments. A previously developed laboratory model and a Du Pont 9900 thermalanalyzer unit were used to run the experiments. Three reaction regions for combustion of crude oil in porous media were observed in the reaction tube and TGA/DTGA experiments and are defined as low temperature oxidation, fuel ...
