Exergy Analysis/Evidence
Method evidence record

Exergy Analysis

Exergy analysis is a thermodynamic method that quantifies the maximum useful work obtainable from an energy carrier relative to a reference dead state, revealing where and how irreversibilities destroy quality energy. Formally linked to sustainable development by Marc Rosen and Ibrahim Dincer in 2001, it extends the first-law energy balance with second-law accounting to expose true thermodynamic inefficiencies that conventional energy audits miss.
