Today, the study of thermal systems that take advantage residual sources in power generation sector is great importance to mitigate environmental impact and promote sustainable alternatives this sector. Among these alternatives, organic Rankine cycle (ORC) relevance since it allows taking energy at low temperatures. This work presents a methodology evaluate feasibility using refrigerant as working fluid an based on exergetic viability index. As case study, R134a, R600a, R245fa, R123...
Abstract An on‐line state‐estimation design for multiinput multioutput nonlinear plants, either observable or detectable, is presented. The considers a stage of analysis, in which the solvability estimation problem with robust convergence assessed priori, and synthesis, estimator constructed its gains are tuned systematized procedure. approach, stems from suitable definition observability detectability, provides methodological framework that identifies compromise between performance...
An intensified three-step reaction-separation process for the production of bio-jet diesel from tryglycerides and petro-diesel mixtures is proposed. The considers three sequentially connected sections: (1) a triglyceride hydrolysis section with catalytic heterogeneous reactor, which used to convert triglycerides vegetable oils into resultant fatty acids. separation pure acid glycerol water performed by three-phase flash drum two conventional distillation columns; (2) co-hydrotreating...
Nowadays, sensitivity analysis (SA) is a methodology commonly used to identify important parameters that determine the behavior of model. The SA model allows how uncertainties in responses (outputs) can be assigned values (input variables). related literature indicates there are several methods perform SA. This work addresses benchmarking four widely for Global (GSA): Sobol-Jansen, Sobol-Baudin, Sobol-Owen and Sobol 2007, based on concept performance profile introduced by Dolan Moré (2002)...
In an energy system, it is important to identify the origin of residue formation in order implement actions reduce their or eliminate them as well evaluate impact on production costs system. exergetic cost theory, although there are several criteria allocate residues productive components, no unique indication best choice has been defined yet. this paper, exergy determined by allocating irreversibilities components from which they originate. This criterion, based Gouy-Stodola theorem,...
This paper considers the criterion of minimum compression work to derive an expression for interstage pressure a multistage compressor with intercooling that includes gas properties, drops in intercoolers, different suction temperatures, and isentropic efficiencies each stage. The analytical pressures is applied estimate number stages evaluate its applicability order operation compressors, which can be especially useful when their measurements are not available.
In this study, we used the thermoeconomic theory to evaluate impact of residue cost formation on electricity generated from natural gas burned in a turbine that applied sequential combustion; also analyzed combustion process additional fuel consumption compensate for malfunction component. We Alstom GT24 turbine, which and 235 MW power. Thermoeconomic analysis indicated exergy power generation was 626.33 (30.42% corresponded irreversibility costs, 29.22% 2.84% costs physical chemical...
Multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) systems can be found in many industrial processes, including mining processes. In practice, these are difficult to control due the interactions of their input variables inherent uncertainty Depending on MIMO process, different strategies implemented achieve desired performance. Among is use a decentralized structure that considers several subsystems for which SISO controller designed. this study, methodology based global sensitivity analysis (GSA)...
