Abstract

Extensive analysis of the
thermodynamics first and second laws is performed on a 14.25 MW cogeneration
plant in Adana, Turkey. In this study, the most important parts of the system
is observed and thermodynamic performance assessments are evaluated. The obtained
outcomes indicate that major exergy destruction happens in boiler, which is 42%
of the whole system irreversibility. Moreover, the economizer and chimney have
also considerable irreversibilities which are 29% and 25%, respectively. The
energy efficiencies of the chimney, economizer and boiler are calculated as
61.68%, 66.03%, 79.91%, respectively. On the other hand, the exergy
efficiencies of chimney, economizer and boiler are calculated as 96.56%, 30.27%
and 71.94%, respectively.
