Abstract:Ubased on exhaust gases from its engine and implement the smart use technique of the waste heat.
Thermodynamic and exergoeconomic analyses are conducted to evaluate the proposed system
considering acceptable thermodynamic assumptions. The system consists of a Kalina cycle, an
ejector-booster refrigeration cycle, and a humidification dehumidification desalination unit for
power, cooling, and freshwater production. A parametric analysis is conducted to illustrate the
effect of some design variables on the sum unit cost of products. Also, to achieve the best design
of the system, different optimized cases are evaluated based on a genetic algorithm. According to
the attained results, employing exhaust gases from a ship’s engine through the proposed trigeneration system enhanced the thermodynamic and cost outcomes. So, this is a cost-effective
and clean production solution to improve the design of a ship. Considering the multi-objective
optimization, energy and exergy efficiencies
