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.Englishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessbrick factory, tunnel furnace, tunnel dryer, energy and exergy analysisKILN, OPTIMIZATION, ENERGY, FUELBrick FactoryEnergy and Exergy AnalysisTunnel DryerTunnel FurnaceExergy AnalysisEnergyArticle
