On Exergy and Sustainable Development in Environmental Engineering
نویسنده
چکیده
Humankind faces the most serious challenge ever – sustainable development. A new paradigm based on respect of nature and awareness of natural mechanisms is needed. The concept of exergy and exergy based methods offers a unique potential to support this. Applications to real problems and possible solutions related to environmental engineering are presented.

Life Cycle Exergy Analysis of Renewable Energy Systems
Exergy concepts and exergy based methods offer an insight to the understanding of sustainable energy engineering. The utilization of energy and other resources by applying physical concept as exergy and exergy based methods and the value of these tools in the design are presented, in particular Life Cycle Exergy Analysis (LCEA). LCEA is applied to a typical wind power plant. This brings a new a...

and Tribus, 1962), which is also named exergoeconomics (Bejan et al, 1996) and exergonomics (Yantovskii, 1994). The concept of utility is a central concept in macroeconomics. Utility is also closely related to exergy, and an exergy tax is an example of how exergy could be introduced into macroeconomics. This paper introduces and clarifies important concepts in the development of a sustainable e...

The present research proposes and optimizes the performance of a novel solar-driven combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) Kalina system for two seasons—winter and summer—based on exergy, exergo-economic, and exergo-environmental concepts applying a Non-dominated Sort Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) technique. Three criteria, i.e. daily exergy efficiency, total product cost rate, and to...
