Abstract

The main objective of this study is to comprehensively perform exergy analysis of the tunnel furnace and the tunnel dryer which was selected as the control volume and involved in a brick production line. The analysis was based on the real data measured over a one-year period at a working brick factory with a daily production capacity of 392 tons of fired bricks. Energy and exergy efficiencies of the control volume were obtained to be 76.46% and 12.90% for dead state values of 25 degrees C and 1.013 atm respectively.
