From the Back Cover:

The second edition of Exergy: Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development provides the theoretical underpinnings of exergy along with tools for its analysis and use in optimization and reduction of environmental impacts. The book also provides guidelines for sustainable development. As a research-oriented book, it includes practical features in a usable format often not included in other solely academic books. The theoretical and applied chapters make this the comprehensive go-to reference manual on the topic.

Key features:

  • Connects exergy with three essential areas: energy, environment, and sustainable development
  • One of the most comprehensive books on exergy, presenting the most up-to-date information in the area with recent developments
  • Provides numerous examples, practical applications, and case studies to put theory into practice
  • Written in an easy-to-follow style, starting from the basics and working to advanced systems, making it suitable as a textbook for exergy and related courses
  • Provides many study problems that foster critical thinking and skills development, with a wide range of applications, from basic to integrated

New to this edition:

  • New chapters on chemical exergy, absorption cooling, trigeneration and multigeneration, hydrogen production, novel methods of power generation, and multi-objective optimization
  • New sections on solar exergy maps, exergy analyses of novel HVAC and advanced drying systems, and other topics
  • Updated practical examples, problems, case studies, and references
  • Newly illustrated concepts on multigeneration applications and multi-objective optimization tools
  • New exergy-related models, parameters, indexes, and metrics
  • Enhanced emphasis on sustainable energy systems and system integration
