Exergy analysis of base and optimized high pressure feed water heating system from nuclear power plant

Abstract

In this paper is performed exergy analysis of high pressure feed water heating system and all of its components which operates in nuclear power plant. Four cases are observed: system operation in the base case and system operation in three optimized cases. Exergy analysis show that optimization by using different algorithms has a different influence on the exergy destructions, while all the algorithms increase whole system and its components exergy efficiencies. An increase in the ambient temperature increases exergy destructions and decrease exergy efficiencies of the whole observed system and its components, regardless of operation case. The highest exergy efficiency of the whole analyzed system is 96.12% and is obtained by using an IGSA algorithm at the lowest observed ambient temperature of 5 °C. By observing exergy destructions only, it should be noted that GA and IGSA algorithms give almost identical results.
