With the exergy analysis it is possible to evaluate the performance of energy conversion processes not only on a thermodynamics basis but also by including production costs and environmental aspects and impacts of the studied processes. This comprehensive approach of the use of energy has, as one of the most important feature, the identification of sustainable ways of energy resources utilization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on the fundamentals of the exergy concept, its calculation, graphical representations and exergy balances evaluation, \u003ci\u003eExergy: Production Cost And Renewability \u003c\/i\u003edescribes the application of detailed exergy and thermoeconomic analysis to power plants and polygeneration systems, petroleum production and refining plants (including hydrogen production), chemical plants, biofuel production routes, combined production of ethanol and electricity, aircraft systems design, environmental impact mitigation processes and human body behavior. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003eThe presented case studies aim at providing students, researchers and engineers with guidelines to the utilization of the exergy and thermoeconomic analysis to model, simulate and optimize real processes and industrial plants. \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781447141648\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-4165-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 338\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50148448960652,"sku":"9781447141648","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781447141648.jpg?v=1779564804","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781447141648","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
