Methodology for Energy and Energy Analysis of Steam Boilers

Abstract

This paper presents a framework of thermodynamic, energy and exergy, analyses of industrial steam boilers. Mass, energy, and exergy analysis were used to develop a methodology for evaluating thermodynamic properties, energy and exergy input and output resources in industrial steam boilers. Determined methods make available an analytic procedure for exergetic analysis on steam boilers for appropriate applications. Chemical exergy of the material streams was considered to offer a more comprehensive detail on energy and exergy resource allocation and losses of the processes in a steam boiler.

Keywords: exergy, energy, steam boilers, chemical exergy, exergy destruction
