Advanced exergy analysis of an aircraft gas turbine engine: Splitting exergy destructions into parts
Energy, 2015 Abstract Advanced exergy analysis of an aircraft gas turbine engine is presented in this paper. In this framework, the main exergy parameters of the engine components are introduced while the exergy destruction rates within the engine components are split into endogenous/exogenous and avoidable/unavoidable parts.
