Abstract
The purpose of energy-saving improvement is not only to save energy but also to bring economic benefits, any energy-saving will contribute also to CO2 reduction. Generally, saving energy can reduce costs including saving Carbon Tax. Investment costs and energy-saving benefits are a pair of complementary contradictions; under specific conditions, to organically unify investment and benefits to produce maximum benefits is what we call optimization methods. This Chapter discussed the relationship between process rate and exergy loss, including heat transfer process, flow flowing process, mass transfer, and chemical reaction processes, especially discussed identifying the effectiveness of the driving force, proposed the driving force efficiency estimate method; following the optimization method, proposed the following process optimization approach and results: Economical insulation thickness of hot fluid pipeline; Economical pipe diameter and insulation thickness for fluid transportation, Optimization of heat exchange equipment; Economical thermal efficiency of the heating furnace.
