Exergy Analysis of Aircraft Flight Systems
2007Exergy analysis is useful for understanding the efficiencies of aircraft and their engines and can assist in improvement efforts. This chapter provides an understanding of the effects that varying reference environments have on exergy efficiencies and losses and is helpful in engine design work to provide a more comprehensive assessment of performance,

Exergy analysis for a petroleum refinery : cumulative exergy consumption analysis
The aim of cumulative exergy consumption (CExC) analysis is to evaluate the qualitative amount of energy required to produce the specific products of the process under consideration. Therefore, the CExC indices of the products under consideration can be compared to those evaluated from different processes. The results obtained can be implemented to theopenaire +1 more source
Exergy, Exergy Costing, and Renewability Analysis of Energy Conversion Processes
2012This chapter introduces the foundations of the exergy, exergy production cost, and renewability analysis of energy conversion processes. Based on the concept of reversible work, the concept of exergy is derived and the exergy balance is presented as a combination of the energy and entropy balances.

Fundamentals of Exergy Analysis and Exergy-Aided Thermal Systems Design
1999A close reading of the early literature of the second law of thermodynamics originating from the time of Carnot shows that second law reasoning in today’s engineering sense - -optimal conversion of inputs to end use - - was present from the beginning. Interest in this theme occasionally flickered in the interim, but it was kept alive and now forms the ...
