Abstract
This chapter gives the theoretical background for the development and execution of thermoeconomic balances of systems, and applies it to the example case. Once the thermoeconomic balance is set up, a brief description of the fixed and variable costs is given, and their calculation is applied to the system. Thermoeconomic costs are determined and related cost increases show how thermoeconomic analysis will serve to analyse industrial systems, as can be seen when applied to the example system. Finally, the exergoeconomic factor is defined and applied.
