Exergy analysis of multiple heat exchanger networks: An approach based on the irreversibility distribution ratio

This study presents a simple approach for the exergy analysis of heat exchanger networks (HENs). This approach is based on approximating the irreversibility distribution ratio (φ) and the exergy destruction of a HEN in a large natural gas refinery, without needing to design the individual heat excha...
