Comprehensive analysis of energy, exergy and exergo-economic of cogeneration of heat and power in a combined gas turbine and organic Rankine cycle
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a combined heat and power cycle combining a gas turbine (GT) and an ORC through a single-pressure heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), and the results revealed that the increase in pressure ratio and isentropic efficiency of air compressor and gas turbine efficiency improves thermodynamic performance of the system, however, the more increase of these parameters deteriorates the total cost rates.

Muiltiobjective optimization using nondominated sorting in genetic algorithms
N. Srinivas,Kalyanmoy Deb +1 more
TL;DR: Goldberg's notion of nondominated sorting in GAs along with a niche and speciation method to find multiple Pareto-optimal points simultaneously are investigated and suggested to be extended to higher dimensional and more difficult multiobjective problems.

The Exergy Method of Thermal Plant Analysis
TL;DR: The Exergy Method as mentioned in this paper is a method of thermodynamic analysis in which the basis of evaluation of the thermodynamic losses follows from the Second Law rather than the First Law of Thermodynamics and has gained in the last few years many new followers, both among practising engineers and academics.
