Dear RG,

I am working on the waste gas from the refinery to electricity production. I propose to utilize Aspen Hysys Model from where conventional exergy will be evaluated. However, I'm unable to make real progress on the part of Advanced Exergy in my initial dry-run following the challenges I'm having to determine the unavoidable exergy of my components. I have the following challenges: (1) Is it possible to use Hysys as a thermodynamic tool to calculate unavoidable exergy (advanced exergy) for my components? If Yes, how is it done? If not what thermodynamic tool can I use?

(2) The mathematical (Graphical) approach for Unavoidable exergy calculation appears to me to be more straightforward from the several journals I have read. But unable to determine the straight-line graph despite defining the ideal operation of each of the components. Therefore, I would appreciate it if you can take out a few minutes of your time to provide me with a clear guide to enable me to unveil the challenge I am experiencing with the concept of Advanced exergy splitting calculation. I appreciate your kind feedback and the wonderful work and contributions you have been making to the engineering world.
