Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is twofold. On the one hand, to introduce the principal characteristics of thermoeconomics, a discipline that will be used throughout the book. On the other hand, to present an example system for the application of the concepts developed in a practical way. Once the physical process has been described, indicating the main pieces of equipment and its streams, a flow diagram for its simulation is shown and described using Aspen Plus\(^{\textregistered }\), as well as the main criteria adopted for the simulation. Lastly, a subdivision of the system is proposed, in order to ease its study, in two different subsystems (although a complete and detailed study, with the lowest aggregation level, is shown and can be followed on the website of this book).
