Exergy in chemical reactions of combustion and gasification part 2: some numerical examples

Abstract

The exergy concept applied to chemical reactions of combustion and gasification has been presented and discussed in detail. All the essential cases will be taken into account, namely the equimolar and non–equimolar — homogeneous and heterogeneous — stoichiometric processes, but also the non–stoichiometric ones. The numerical examples show the expected correctness of the theo-retical approach which means, the method can be applied to the complex system analysis containing combustion and gasification processes. The analysis makes it clear that the method can be also used for all the chemical conversion processes in the chemical and process engineering.
