Book ·
OSTI ID:6157620
This important new text demonstrates exergy applications in ecology, economics, and industry. In fact, it constitutes the very first presentation of the vast possibilities of important ecological applications of exergy analysis. The book provides an original and precise formulation of the chemical exergy calculation problem, and features tables of standard chemical exergy of many elements and chemical compounds. Other material covers general balance, steady and non-steady states, and both movable and immovable systems. This volume also includes an original method of calculating the chemical exergy of technical fuels, illustrative examples of exergy balances based on measurements of real industrial installations, cumulative exergy consumption and cumulative exergetic efficiency.
