Author(s) : LUCCA G.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE STUDY OF THERMODYNAMICSREQUIRES A SOUND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPTS OF ENERGY AND ENTROPY BUT, WITH THE TRADITIONAL PRESENTATION OF THERMODYNAMICS, THE PHYSICAL CONCEPT OF ENTROPY REMAINS NEARLY ALWAYS OBSCURE AND ABSTRACT. THE CONCEPT OF < EXERGY > (OR < AVAILABILITY >) IS INTRODUCED IN THE TECHNICAL LITERATURE IN TERMS OF ENTROPY ; IN THE PAPER THE AUTHOR DISCUSSES THE ADVANTAGES AND IMPLICATIONS (FROM A PHYSICAL STANDPOINT) OF AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH IN WHICH ENTROPY IS DERIVED FROM EXERGY OR, BETTER, FROM THE MORE READILY UNDERSTANDABLE CONCEPT OF < MAXIMUM WORK >.
