Exergoeconomic assessment and multi-objective optimization of a solar chimney integrated with waste-to-energy

Summary

Proposes a hybrid in which warm condenser-cooling air from a Tehran municipal waste incineration plant is injected below the turbine of a solar chimney, then assesses it on energy, exergy, cost and CO2 criteria. Genetic-algorithm Pareto optimisation gives a compromise design with roughly 7.6% exergy efficiency at about 407 $/h, and the chimney is the largest source of exergy destruction.
