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°C and 1.013 atm respectively. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.
