Integrated assessment of exergy, energy and carbon dioxide emissions in an iron and steel industrial network

Review of evaluation methodologies and influencing factors for energy efficiency of the iron and steel industry

“…Most of the current studies on thermal analysis are combined with exergy analysis to analyze the energy utilization. For example, Wu et al discussed the energy efficiency and exergy efficiency of main production equipment and processes on the basis of establishing a steel industry network. The values of thermal and exergy efficiencies are shown in Tables and .…”

Control data, Sankey diagrams, and exergy: Assessing the resource efficiency of industrial plants

“…Umberto R or Anylogic R , or on aggregated data collected in annual reports. Examples of analyses using annual data include work by Costa et al (2001) [32] and Wu et al (2016) [29],…”

Interaction mechanism among material flows, energy flows and environment and generalized thermodynamic optimizations for iron and steel production processes

“…Lu等人 [20] 以能 量强度为优化目标对钢铁生产流程进行了优化, 优化 后能量强度降低了2.9%, 指出炼铁工序降低能量强度 潜力较大而轧钢工序潜力最小. Wu等人 [21] [25~34] (或 熵产最小化理论 [35~37] )、构形理论 [38~45] 和 理论 [46~52] 等引入钢铁生产流程的优化中非常有必要. 本文将有 [26,28,45,53~55] [56] , Novikov [57] , Chambadal [58] , Curzon 和 Ahlborn [59] 等人先后将有限速率传热引入可逆卡诺循 环的研究中, 导出了内可逆卡诺热机最大输出功率时…”
