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 ...

This research work is concerned in the exergy analysis of the continuous-convection drying of onion. The influence of temperature and air velocity was studied in terms of exergy parameters. The energy and exergy balances ...

An assessment is made of the atmospheric emissions from the life cycle of fuel ethanol coupled with the cogeneration of electricity from sugarcane in Brazil. The total exergy loss from the most quantitative relevant ...

Liquid biofuels can be produced from a variety of feedstocks and processes. Ethanol and biodiesel production processes based on conventional raw materials are already commercial, but subject to further improvement and ...

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 ...

Exergy analysis results from a combination of first and second law of thermodynamics and is a tool to evaluate the quality of energy conversion processes, including those that take place in living organisms...
