Preface
During the past two decades, we have witnessed many drastic changes in science, technology and engineering. One of these drastic changes is the revitalization of exergy concepts, methods, approaches, etc. Exergy now appears to be a wellestablished and distinct discipline which has come out of the second law of thermodynamics and gone beyond thermodynamics to be used in many other disciplines, such as chemical, biotechnology, civil, environmental, architectural, industrial, system, electrical, geology, topography, etc. in engineering and chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, business, informational technology, economy, medicine, etc. in non-engineering areas. As a result of these recent changes and advances, ex
