Exergy Method: Technical and Ecological Applications (Developments in Heat Transfer)

This book presents the principles of exergy analysis and major developments in the area over the last 15 years. Among the problems featured are: determination of partial exergy losses in thermal and chemical systems, the cumulative depletion of non-renewable natural resources, minimization of the ecological cost, the concept of a new pro-ecological tax proportional to the depletion of non-renewable resources, practical rules for the improvement of the thermodynamic imperfection of
processes, and discussion of global anthropogenic and natural exergy losses.

A useful addition to the literature of the advanced analysis of energy systems . Recommended to professional and graduate sutdents. Unique in its ecological applications. -- --ENERGY, The International Journal, October 2007
