Notes:
Exergy analysis is an excellent tool for locating weak spots in a process. Purposefully applied, it improve our insight and allow us to design processes systematically. Yet for many engineers exergy remains a difficult subjects. To make analysis easier and the results easier to interpret, therefore, we need the best possible exergy analysis tools. The commercial performance of both plant suppliers and operating companies depends heavily on optimization to reduce plant costs (in the widest sense) to a minimum. As an optimization tool in plant design, exergy analysis has to compete with parametric studied and, increasingly, with equation-based optimization programs.
