Energy, Entropy and Exergy concepts stem from thermodynamics and are applicable to all fields of science and engineering.

Introduction

Energy, Exergy & Entropy

o Entropy and Exergy are also used in other fields (such as statisticsand information theory), and Therefore they’re not subsets of energy.

o Some forms of Energy (such as shaft work) are entropy-free, and thus entropy subtends only part of energy.

o Likewise, Exergy subtends only part of the energy field since some systems (such as air at atmospheric conditions) possess energy but no exergy.

Energy, Exergy & Entropy

o Most thermodynamic systems (such as steam in a power plant) possess energy, entropy and exergy, and thus appear at the intersection of these three fields.

o So we can have Energy Analysis, Exergy Analysis & Entropy Analysis according to system

Applying Exergy Analysis to MacroSystems

• Exergy is the ‘fuel’ of dissipative systems, i.e., systems that are sustained by converting energy and materials.• Examples include a living cell, an organism, an

ecosystem, and the earth’s surface with its material cycles.

• Societies are also dissipative systems, and can therefore be assessed with exergy analysis.

Exergy Analysis helps us to:

• Improving the efficiency of energy resource utilization.

• Assessing the locations, types and true magnitudes of wastes and losses.

• Distinguishing between high- and low-quality energy resources and services, and better matching the quality of energy required for a service with the quality of the energy supplied.

• High Temperature Resource -> High Temperature application

• Determining whether or not and by how much it is possible to design more efficient energy systems by reducing inefficiencies.

• Reducing the impact of energy resource utilization on the environment.

Energy Loss

Energy flow model for a country

• First introduced in a landmark paper by Reistad (1975), who applied it to the U.S.

• Since then, several other countriesbeen examined using modifiedversions of this approach:

• Canada (Rosen,1992)

• Japan, Finland and Sweden (Wall, 1990, 1991)Italy (Wall et al., 1994)

• Turkey (Ozdogan and Arikol, 1995; Rosen and Dincer, 1997b)

Step 2: Calculate Exergy Efficiency

Example: Cooking

Energy efficiency:

𝜀1,𝑐𝑜𝑜𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 = 50%

Cooking temperature: 120C

Ambient temperature: 20C

𝜀2,𝑐𝑜𝑜𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 = 50% × 1 −273+20

273+120= 12.7%

Exergy efficiencies

• Exergy efficiencies are

calculated as shown in

the table.

Step 3 : Overall Application efficiency

• Overall energy efficiency:• 𝜀1𝑜 = (𝑎1𝜀1𝑐+ 𝑎2𝜀2𝑐+…+𝑎2𝜀2𝑐)/100

• Overall exergy efficiency:• 𝜀2𝑜 = (𝑎1𝜀2𝑐+ 𝑎2𝜀2𝑐+…+𝑎3𝜀2𝑐)/100

Step 3 : Overall Application efficiency

• Cooking:

• 𝜀1𝑜 =91.7∗50+7.5∗50+0.3∗80+0.3∗22

100= 49.9

• 𝜀2𝑜 =91.7∗10.7+7.5∗10.8+0.3∗17.2+0.3∗4.5

100= 10.68

Overall Energy and Exergy efficiency

• Overall application Energy & Exergy efficiencies are calculated as shown in the table.

• Overall Sector Energy & Exergy efficiencies:• 𝜀1𝑜 = (𝜀1𝑒𝑒𝑟𝑐 + 𝜀1𝑓𝑓𝑟𝑐 + 𝜀1𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑐)/(𝑒𝑟𝑐 + 𝑓𝑟𝑐 + 𝑟𝑟𝑐)

• 𝜀2𝑜 = (𝜀2𝑒𝑒𝑟𝑐 + 𝜀2𝑓𝑓𝑟𝑐 + 𝜀2𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑐)/(𝑒𝑟𝑐 + 𝑓𝑟𝑐 + 𝑟𝑟𝑐)

Step 4 : Overall sector efficiency

• Residential-Commercial Efficiency:• Space Heating: 45%

• Water Heating: 27%

• Cooking: 9%

• Electrical: 18%

• 𝜀1𝑜 =50.32∗45+60.43∗27+40.32∗9+80.98∗18

100= 57.16

• 𝜀2𝑜 =2.65∗45+3.95∗27+10.30∗9+22.17∗18

100= 7.17

Overall Sector Efficiency

• Summary:• 1- Estimate Energy Efficiency

• 2- Estimate Product temperature

• 3- Calculate Exergy Efficiency

• 4- Calculate Overall Energy & Exergy Efficiency by using:

• Energy consumption of each application

Conclusion

• The residential/commercial sector have great potential for energy savings, because large disparities exist between the overall energy and exergyefficiencies

• Space heating & Water heating have more inefficiencies rather than cooking.
