    Energy Performance Assessment in Terms of Primary Energy and Exergy Analyses of the Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center
    (SAGE Publications Inc., 2019) Hancıoğlu Kuzgunkaya, Ebru; Hancıoğlu, Ebru; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This paper concerns with the energy analysis (based on primary energy) and exergy analysis of Narlıdere Nursing Home and Rehabilitation Center (NNHRC) in İzmir, Turkey that was chosen as a sample public building. The Center services as a nursing and rehabilitation center for the aged and it also includes a geriatric division operating as a hospital. The Center was analyzed using the actual energy consumption data derived from several energy audits. Energy efficiency (according to the primary energy ratio) and exergy efficiency of the facility were calculated to be 59% and 14%, respectively. The results have indicated that the exergy efficiencies of space heating and cooling have the lowest values compared with the other units of facility. Specific primary energy consumption and specific exergy consumption of the facility were found to be 271.91 kWh/m2 year and 290.23 kWh/m2 year, respectively. Sustainability index value of the overall NNHRC was found to be 1.621.

    A Comparative Study on Exergetic Performance Assessment for Drying of Broccoli Florets in Three Different Drying Systems
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2010) İçier, Filiz; Hancıoğlu, Ebru; Erbay, Zafer; Hancıoğlu Kuzgunkaya, Ebru; Hepbaşlı, Arif; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This article deals with the exergy analysis and evaluation of broccoli in three different drying systems. The effects of drying air temperature on the exergy destruction, exergy efficiency, and exergetic improvement potential of the drying process were investigated. The exergy destruction rate for the drying chamber increased with the rise in the drying air temperature at 1.5 m/s, both in the tray and the heat pump dryer. The highest exergy efficiency value was obtained as 90.86% in the fluid bed dryer in comparison to the other two drying systems and the improvement potential rate was the highest in the heat pump dryer during drying of broccoli at the drying air temperature of 45°C and the drying air velocity of 1.0 m/s. © 2010 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
