Exergy analysis is applied to assess the energy conversion processes that take place in the human body, aiming at developing indicators of health and performance based on the concepts of exergy destroyed rate and exergy ...

The frst and second laws of the thermodynamics were applied to the human body to evaluate the performance of subjects under diferent training levels. Ten cyclists were evaluated in the stationary bicycle with the indirect ...

The aim of this work is to apply performance indicators for individuals under physical activity based on the concepts of exergy destroyed and exergy efficiency. The cardiopulmonary exercise test is one of the most used ...

The study objective was realizing an exergetic balance, in the Dairy plant of the Escuela Superior Politecnica de Chimborazo, located in the community of Tunshi. The Dairy plant appears with three principal lines, which ...

A detailed exergy cost and thermoeconomic analysis applied to a Rankine Cycle (RC) coupled to a Multi-Effect Distillation (MED) plant was performed. The aim of this work is to identify the impact of design and operating ...

) using the PSO algorithm. A thermodynamic model of the integrated system was developed from the application of mass, energy and exergy balances to each component, which allowed the calculation of the exergy destroyed a ...
