Benefits of exergy (second law) analysis
There are lots of researchers presenting studies based on second law of thermodynamics like,
exergy, entropy minimization and advanced thermodynamic analysis. Most of these articles
starts stating that this approach is useful for design cases and shows "real" performance of
systems or components of complex systems. Mainly it sounds a little bit abstract without
pointing out what is reason for doing this type of analysis.
*It could be used as a measure of system sustainability level
*Shows quality of heat transfer process
*Exergy is more complex measure for assessment cases than energy
