Abstract

Abstract: One of the most common problems arising from the application of exergy analysis is the allocation of cumulative exergy consumption (CExC) in the petroleum distillation process yielding several useful products. Based on the concept of exergy, an improved calculation of the minimum separation power of product (MSPP) in the petroleum distillation process is provided in this article. The calculation of MSPP can be derived from the concept of exergy. The related mathematical models are established. Finally, application of this method to a case study is given, and the results are compared with the ones using mass as an allocation parameter.
