2. Background of exergy analysis (from the second law to exergy)

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.

Exergy What is exergy for?
• 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.
