Exergy analysis for fuel reduction strategies in crude distillation unit
Inefficient furnaces and heat exchangers contribute to the depletion of fossil fuel problem due to higher fuel demand and higher carbon emission. The method of exergy analysis is applied to the furnace and crude preheat train (CPT) in a crude distillation unit (CDU) to determine performance benchmar...
