Article Exergetic Analysis of a Continuous Bi-Axially Oriented Polypropylene (bopp) Film Unit in a Plastic Processing Plant(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2009) Balta, M. Tolga; Hepbaşlı, Arif; Hancıoğlu, Ebru; Özcanlı, Şevket Cihangir; Yılmazer, Ertan; Yurdakul, İbrahim; Dişbudak, ÖzgürThis paper deals with an exergy analysis of the stretching process of bi-axially oriented polypropylene films using a hot oil coiler along with stretching and crystallising unit. Exergy destructions and efficiencies in each of the system components are calculated, while the exergy loss and flow diagram (the so-called Grassmann diagram) is presented for the transverse direction (TD) unit. The so-called functional (on the product or benefit/fuel basis) and universal (on the output/input basis) exergy efficiency values of the TD unit are calculated to be 26.40% and 28.46% at a recommended exhaust air relative humidity of 0.0098 kg water/kg air, respectively.Article Citation - Scopus: 10Exergy Analysis and Performance Evaluation of Kizildere Geothermal Power Plant, Turkey(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2004) Yıldırım, Eda Didem; Gökçen Akkurt, Gülden; Gökçen, GüldenConventional geothermal power plants (GPP) differ from fossil-fuel power plants (FFPP) in many ways. The most specific ones are GPPs, are not cyclic plants and the working fluid is not pure steam. Geothermal steam contains non-condensable gases (NCG) which degrade power plant efficiency. This discrepancy leads to two considerations in energy and exergy analysis of GPPs. One is that the amount of NCGs in the steam cannot be omitted during the calculations; the other is that the dead state composition varies throughout the process. In this work, energy and exergy analysis is conducted to assess the performance of Kizildere GPP under both considerations. The net second law efficiencies of the plant based on reservoir and wellhead exergy are 24.3 and 27.2% respectively. Both indicate that the plant performance is low comparing with the other single-flash GPPs and FFPPs. The losses are mainly associated with high NCG content and low steam fraction of the fluid.Article Citation - WoS: 30Citation - Scopus: 32Performance investigation of the drying of parsley in a tray dryer system(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2010) Hancıoğlu, Ebru; Hepbaşlı, Arif; İçier, Filiz; Erbay, Zafer; Çolak, NeslihanThe performance of a tray dryer system for the parsley drying process was assessed using energy and exergy analysis methods in this study. The drying temperature ranged from 40°C to 60°C, while the drying air velocity varied from 0.5 m/s to 1.5 m/s. The higher temperature and lower velocity led to higher exergy and energy efficiencies. The exergy efficiency value for the overall system on a product/fuel basis was found to be 3.62%. The values for Specific Moisture Extraction Rate (SMER) and Specific Moisture Exergetic index (SMExR) were obtained to be 0.08 and 2.47 kg/kWh, respectively.
