Effect of internal heat recovery in ammonia-water absorption cooling cycles: exergy and structural analysis

First and second law analysis have been conducted for three low temperature driven ammonia-water absorption cooling cycles with increasing internal heat recovery. Based on the results of exergy analysis the structural analysis has been achieved. The obtained Coefficients of Structural Bonds (CSB) co...
