Select any thermal energy system you are interested. Describe the system and state how the system works. The system should have at least one heat exchanger. Analyse the design of the heat exchangers and their functions in the system. Part I and Part II are connected. Select a system you are able to complete the exergy analysis in Part II. Part II: Exergy analysis & performance optimisation of heat exchangers for a thermal energy system (max. 5 pages) Perform exergy analysis and performance optimization of the thermal energy system in Part I. For the above question, the thermal energy system i have chosen is a steam rankine cycle, so for part II, i would like exergy analysis and performance optimistaion to be done 3 times over for a steam rankine cycle, show full working calculations for each and explanations. Provide references for any values used.
Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
