In recent years, attention has focused on exergy analysis, a type of thermodynamic analysis which is an important tool for the efficiency assessment and the processes optimization when dealing with energy conversion and, particularly, thermochemical processes such as gasification. Thus, this chapter aims to introduce the fundamental concepts of energy and exergy and describe the energy and exergy evaluation tools, elucidating its importance for calculations applied to gasification processes. A case study was performed to show the proposal of energy and exergy analysis. Therefore, a single global gasification chemical reaction was used to represent the gasification process. This analysis can provide a tool to assess and develop models, simulations, calculations, and to optimize real gasification processes. Information and experiences covered in this chapter help to be put into perspective the technology, research and overcoming of challenges.

Abstract Air compressors, a key fluid power technology, play an important role not only in industrial plants but also in office buildings, hospitals, and other types of facilities. The efficient use of the air compressor is crucial to control unnecessary inefficiencies that cause high energy consumption. This study aims to provide energy and exergy analysis on air compressors for different industries. Detailed case studies are also analyzed. The case study focuses on the energy and exergy analysis of the compressed air system of foundry industries. The results indicate that applying the six improvement recommendations yield significant amounts of energy and cost savings as well as significant improvements in the overall performance of the system. The payback periods for different recommendations are economically feasible and worthwhile to use. The suggested improvement methods can provide high costs with a low payback period.

Abstract This paper presents energy and exergy analysis of air cooling cycle based on novel Maisotsenko indirect evaporative cooling cycle. Maisotsenko cycle (M-cycle) provides desired cooling condition above the dew point and below the wet bulb temperature. In this study, based on average annual temperature, The Iran area is segmented into eleven climates. In energy analysis, wet-bulb and dew point effectiveness, cooling capacity rate and in exergy analysis, exergy input rate, exergy destruction rate, exergy loss, exergy efficiency, exergetic COP and entropy generation rate for Iran's weather conditions in the indicated climates are calculated. Moreover, a feasibility study based on water evaporation rate and Maisotsenko cycle was presented. Energy and exergy analysis results show that the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth climates are quite compatible and Rasht, Sari, Ramsar and Ardabile cities are irreconcilable with the Maisotsenko cycle.
