文摘Based on the exergy-economic analysis of heat exchanger heat transfer and flow process, two new exergy- economic criteria which are defined as the total costs per unit heat transfer rate ηt for heat transfer exchanger and the net profit per unit heat recovery rate ηr for heat recovery exchanger respectively are put forward.
