The analysis was based on the real data measured over a one-year period at a working brick factory with a daily production capacity of 392 tons of fired bricks. Energy and exergy efficiencies of the control volume were obtained to be 76.46% and 12.90% for dead state values of 25 degrees C and 1.013 atm, respectively.en10.1504/IJEX.2021.118717info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessbrick factorytunnel furnacetunnel dryerenergy and exergy analysisKilnOptimizationEnergyFuelArticle362-4208226WOS:0007145636000052-s2.0-85118877629Q3Q4
