Abstract:
In this paper, a concept of balance is used to improve the important parameters of the thermal systems. In fact, using this concept give the designer to propose some new configuration which is more efficient. To show the benefit of this concept, firstly, the proposed balancing method is introduced for a simple case study after that its application is used in optimization of thermal systems. In this regard, to achieve the better optimal results in each problem, the unbalanced factors are detected and some solutions are presented to reduce the system unbalancing. Three case studies including Rankine cycle, plate fin heat exchanger, and double pipe heat exchanger are discussed and optimized to show the benefits of this method.

The point in the energy diagram at which the system’s potential energy is the lowest is known as the local minima. The system tends to stay in this position indefinitely unless acted upon by a net force. The slope of the potential energy diagram at the local minima is zero, indicating that zero net force is acting on the system. The...
