Optimization of Steam Pressure Levels in a Total Site Using a Thermoeconomic Method

The present study aims to develop a thermoeconomic-based approach for optimization of steam levels in a steam production and distribution system by use of the specific exergy costing (SPECO) method for determining optimum steam levels to minimize the cost caused by exergy destruction. In the field o...
