Thermoeconomic optimization and parametric study of an irreversible Stirling heat pump cycle

Association of Finite-Time Thermodynamics and a Bond-Graph Approach for Modeling an Endoreversible Heat Engine

“…Besides the criterion of maximum conversion efficiency [16], other optimization criteria have been proposed: maximum power [17,18], maximum of power density [19], thermo-economic optimization [20,21] or ecological optimization [22,23].…”

Association of Finite-Dimension Thermodynamics and a Bond-Graph Approach for Modeling an Irreversible Heat Engine

“…In recent decades, the approach known as Finite-Dimension Thermodynamics has provided a fruitful theoretical framework for the optimization of heat engines operating between a heat source (at temperature T hs ) and a heat sink (at temperature T cs ) [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. The main idea of this approach is the coupling of a converter with two heat exchangers of finite dimension which connect the converter to thermostats.…”

Thermo-economic optimization of superheating and sub-cooling heat exchangers in vapor-compressed refrigeration system

“…For instance, different components of the system may be self-optimized. The component given and the whole system can be recognized by referring to the local exergy input cost or exergy loss, and also irreversibility highly contributes to the process perfection and identification of optimum system parameters [1,[12][13][14][15]. There are two methods for thermo-economic optimization.…”

“…A thermo-economic optimization of an irreversible Stirling heat pump cycle with a parametric study for the finite heat capacity of external reservoirs is presented by Tyagi et al [12]. They determined that the effect of regenerative effectiveness and the economic parameter are more pronounced than that of the other parameters.…”
