In this work energy and entransy characteristics of heat exchangers are analyzed for 12 different flow arrangements of heat exchangers. The dimensionless parameters are number of entransy dissipation (Ng), number of entransy dissipation-based thermal resistance (Nr), and entransy dissipation-based effectiveness of heat-exchanger (εg). The dimensionless parameters are expressed analytically in terms of the effectiveness of heat exchanger (ε), heat capacity ratio (c), and number of transfer unit (N) for optimal performance of heat exchangers. Results showed that the dimensionless parameters based on the entransy dissipation can be useful concepts for optimal design of heat exchangers.

최근 들어 열전달 포텐셜에 해당하는 엔트랜시 개념이 제안되었으며 이는 열-일 변환 시스템의 해석이나 최적화에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 비가역 카르노 사이클에 대해 엑서지 균형방정식 해석과 대응해서 체계적인 엔트랜시 손실, 일 엔트랜시, 엔트랜시 소산의 개념에 기반한 엔트랜시 해석을 수행한다. 또한 시스템의 최적 성능을 나타내기 위해서 엔트랜시에 기반한 몇 가지 형태의 시스템 효율을 도입한다. 한번 사용된 열원이 추가적으로 사용되는 경우와 그렇지 않은 경우, 즉 덤핑 경우와 비덤핑인 경우에 대해 시스템 효율의 최적 조건에 대한 열원온도나 비가역 효율의 영향을 체계적으로 조사한다. 해석 결과는 엔트랜시에 의한 효율은 전통적인 에너지나 엑서지에 기반한 효율과는 다른 경향을 보여주며, 이는 열동력 시스템에서 또 다른 열원의 효과적인 사용 방법을 제시한다.

The use of the ammonia-water zeotropic mixture as a working fluid in the power generating system has been considered as a proven technology for efficient recovery of low-grade heat sources. This paper presents a thermodynamic performance analysis for ammonia-water evaporator using low-grade heat source, based on the exergy and entransy which has been recently introduced as a physical quantity to describe the heat transfer ability of an object. In the analysis, effects of the ammonia mass fraction and source temperature of the binary mixture are investigated on the system performance such as heat transfer, effectiveness, exergy destruction, entransy dissipation, and entransy dissipation based thermal resistance. The results show that the ammonia mass concentration and the source temperature have significant effects on the thermodynamic system performance of the ammonia-water evaporator.

In this paper, entransy analysis is carried out for combined heat and power (CHP) generation system driven by low-grade heat source compared with energy and exergy analyses. The system consists of a regenerative organic rankine cycle (ORC) and an additional process heater in a series circuit. Special attention is paid to the effects of the turbine inlet pressure, source temperature, and the working fluid on the thermodynamic performance of the system. Results showed that the work efficiency of entransy is higher than that of energy but lower than that of exergy, wheress the process heat efficiency of entransy is lower than that of energy but higher than that of exergy. Entrance analysis showed the potential to complement the exergy analysis in the optimal design of the energy system.

In this paper, entransy analysis is carried out for combined heat and power (CHP) generation system driven by low-grade heat source compared with energy and exergy analyses. The system consists of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) and an additional process heater in a parallel circuit. Special attention is paid to the effects of the source temperature, turbine inlet pressure, and the working fluid on the thermodynamic performance of the system. Results showed that the work efficiency of entransy is higher than that of energy but lower than that of exergy, wheress the process heat efficiency of entransy is lower than that of energy but higher than that of exergy. Entrancy analysis showed the potential to complement the exergy analysis in the optimal design of the energy system.
