摘要:Based on the finite time exergoeconomic method, the performance analysis and optimization of an irreversible regenerated air refrigerator cycle are carried out by taking the profit rate as the optimization objective. The profit rate is defined as the difference between the revenue rate of output exergy and the cost rate of input exergy. The analytical expression for profit rate is derived, taking into account several irreversibilities, such as heat resistance, losses due to the pressure drop and the effects of non-isentropic expansion as well as compression. The influences of several parameters such as the temperature ratio of reservoirs, the efficiencies of both compressor and expander, the pressure recovery coefficient and so on are discussed by numerical examples. According to the simulation results, the double-maximum profit rate can be achieved when the pressure ratio and the distributions of heat conductance reach their optimal values respectively. By varying the price ratio, the relationship between the profit rate objective and other objectives can be established and the implementation of profit rate as objective can achieve higher COP compared to the cases using ecological function and cooling load as objectives .
