Optimum exergy efficiency of solar collectors

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, 1989
An optimum exergy efficiency is derived for flat-plate solar collectors as a ratio of exergy delivery of the collector to the maximum output exergy obtainable. It is a function of the optimum mass flow rate through the collector, which itself is obtained through an optimization of the exergy delivery of the collector.

Expanding the exergy concept to the urban water cycle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The world is urbanizing fast and this increases the pressure on available resources. In a world of cities, it is therefore crucial to take a new look at the way urban systems function: where do the resources come from and where do the wastes end up?
