A variable ratio compression ignition engine is tested experimentally for different fuel type (diesel, e-diesel and nano fuel), load (4 kg, 8 kg and 12 kg), and compression ratios (14, 16, and 18) to determine its performance (energy and exergy efficiency), emission (NOx emission), and economic characteristics (% relative cost). Multiple response optimisation is carried out using response surface methodology for maximum performance, minimum emissions and cost. 5.2 kg load, 18 CR, and nano fuel are determined as the optimal input parameters for attaining maximum energy and exergy efficiency of 24.8% and 62.9%, minimum NOx emission and % cost variation of 208.4 ppm, and -6.5 respectively.

HCCI combustion is a very promising technology as it provides low NOx and soot formations with high efficiency. In the present investigation, the performance of turbocharged HCCI engine operated with hydrogen enriched natural gas was assessed using exergy analysis. The impact of equivalence ratio, turbocharger pressure, atmospheric temperature, and hydrogen enrichment has been ascertained on the engine's energy and exergy efficiencies. Special attention is given to identification and quantification of irreversibility of combustion and heat transfer processes using the concept of entropy generation and exergy loss. It is demonstrated that combustion and heat transfer irreversibilities in HCCI engine can be reduced from 55% to 43.4% and its power output is augmented from 31.4% to 38.4% if natural gas is replaced with 100% hydrogen. Overall, the results of second law analysis for engine under consideration show that variations of operational parameters examined have considerably affected the exergy transfer, irreversibilities and efficiencies.

Exergy pinch-analysis of the heat exchange system of the furnace of the primary oil refining unit is carried out. Composite curves are created using a mathematical model, and then the optimal structure of the heat exchange with minimal exergy losses is constructed. Exergy pinch analysis allows revealing the magnitude and location of exergy losses. In the heat exchange system of the furnace exergy loss is 9 MW. It is possible to increase the efficiency of the furnace by 18.5%. An additional heat exchanger connecting it to the oil stream is introduced for rational use of residual exergy.
