A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO AVAILABILITY AND IRREVERSIBILITY
Analysis of the Second Law of Thermodynamics is discussed. Keenan's approach to availability and irreversibility is modified so that the expression for the efficiency of a reversible engine is used in place of the definition of the thermodynamic temperatare scale. Equations are developed for expressing the change in availability and the magnitude of irreversibility for non-flow, semi- flow, and steady-flow systems. The equations are arranged to show which portions of the losses came from friction and from irreversible heat transfer. (D.L.C.)
