Functional decomposition for optimal design of complex thermal systems

Abstract

Thermoeconomic functional analysis (TFA), a method for optimal design or improvement of complex thermal systems, has an intrinsic adaptability to conditions of decomposition. If specified conditions are satisfied, the system may be decomposed into smaller subsystems and the solution of the optimization problem is facilitated significantly. Complete and partial functional decomposition are derived as special cases of TFA. An example demonstrates the applicability of the methods.
