In this book, the examinations of first and second laws of thermodynamics are performed on a 6.5 MW power plant located in Adana, Turkey. The investigated plant equipment for the thesis can be listed as a fluidized bed coal combustor (FBCC), a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG), an economizer (ECO), fans, pumps, a cyclone and a chimney. Whole parts of equipment are investigated one by one and the energetic and exergetic inspections are enforced for whole parts of the plant. In addition, the quantitative cost of exergy balance for each part is paid attention to remark the exergoeconomic effectiveness.The presented study emphasizes the significance of the exergoeconomic inspection associated with the outcomes ensured from the exergetic inspection.
