Thermodynamic analysis and optimization of a novel combined power and ejector refrigeration cycle - Desalination system

The results in the first case reveals a maximum overall exergy efficiency of 17.12% for which the net output power is 57.03 kW and the refrigeration capacity is 91.25 kW. In the case of multi-objective optimization, the results obtained from Pareto frontier shows a net produced power of 52.19 kW and a refrigeration capacity of 120.4 kW. With these data an overall exergy efficiency of 16.46% is calculated. The amount of fresh water calculated in case two is slightly higher than that obtained in case one.
