2. | Why important exergy concept? (Background of Exergy Analysis) I will explain "energy concept" which is important to understand the ability to generation work and maximum work. • The primary concepts of thermodynamics are energy and entropy. • Goal of today’s lecture is Why we need to know exergy analysis or exergy concept? What is the difference exergy and the 2nd law of thermodynamics? What is maximum work for? Exergy = Available energy Total energy = Exergy + Anergy Anergy cannot use for. |
