Exergy Analysis as a Thermodynamic Tool for Gaining New Insights into Chemical Processes: Demonstrated on the SNC Pernis Isopropylalcohol Process

This thesis demonstrates how exergy analysis can be used to gain new insights into chemical processes. Exergy analysis has been applied to the SNC Pernis Isopropylalcohol process in order to introduce the concepts of exergy and exergy analysis together with its applications to Shell personnel and to show the strength and the usefulness of an...
