In addition to the energy analysis in part I of this paper, an exergy analysis of an advanced combined cycle is presented in this part of the paper to identify the major causes of thermodynamic imperfections. The exergy loss and exergetical efficiency of each of the components of the plant are investigated for variations of design and operating parameters. This is done to explore the possible improvements in the second law performance of this plant. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
