Theoretic Basis of Energy and Exergy Analysis

The first law of thermodynamics deals with the quantities of energies of different forms transferred between the system and its surroundings and with changes in the energy stored inside the system. This principle is not able to show where irreversibility occurs in a system or process. To determine the irreversibility it is suitable to use the exergy analysis method which provides an indicator that reveals in which direction efforts should focus in order to improve the performance of thermodynamic systems. This paper offers an overview on concepts like energy, entropy, exergy and plant systems.
