Investigation of effect of varying dead-state temperatures on energy and exergy efficiencies of a Raw Mill process in a cement plant
Özet
Dead-state temperature directly affects the exergy efficiency of thermal systems. The main objectives of the present study are twofold, namely,
to investigate the effects of varying dead-state temperatures on the energy and exergy analyses of a Raw Mill in a cement plant
to examine the sensitivity of the energy and exergy analyses results, calculated according to the varying dead-state temperatures.
The exergy efficiency values ranged from 44.5% to 18.4% at varying dead-state temperature values between -18 degrees C and 41 degrees C. The sensitivity analyses results have indicated that varying dead-state temperatures have an effect on the exergy efficiency.
