Abstract
The performance of a tunnel furnace and a tunnel dryer in a brick production was exergoenvironmentally assessed. The real production data of a brick factory in Turkey with a daily production capacity of 392 tons of fired bricks were used in the analysis. The exergoenvironmental factor of the control volume was calculated as 0.87. The specific exergoenvironmental cost of the control volume was determined to be 559.55 €/h, 3.39 €cent/ kg fired brick and 1.94 €cent/MJ. The specific exergoeconomic cost and the environmental damage prevention cost were obtained to be 0.41 € cent/MJ and 1.53 € cent/MJ, respectively. Because the ratio of exergoenvironmental cost to sales price of 2.41 € cent / kg fired brick was 1.41 (above 1), it was concluded that the brick production in Turkey was not sustainable in terms of exergoenvironmental analysis.
期刊介绍：
The scope of the “Gazi University Journal of Science” comprises such as original research on all aspects of basic science, engineering and technology. Original research results, scientific reviews and short communication notes in various fields of science and technology are considered for publication. The publication language of the journal is English. Manuscripts previously published in another journal are not accepted. Manuscripts with a suitable balance of practice and theory are preferred. A review article is expected to give in-depth information and satisfying evaluation of a specific scientific or technologic subject, supported with an extensive list of sources. Short communication notes prepared by researchers who would like to share the first outcomes of their on-going, original research work are welcome.
