Thermodynamics studies the transformations of energy occurring in open systems. Living systems, with particular … reference to cells, are complex systems in which energy transformations occur. Thermo-electro-chemical processes and transports … they can be related to the energy transformations inside the living systems, in particular the metabolic behaviour …

Exergy based analyses are considered by the scientific community appropriate tools for the design and the performance …, environmental and social externalities of energy systems. This paper presents the results of a study in which different exergy … evaluation and improvements of energy systems. Moreover, they are today recognized as proper instruments to assess economic …

This study compares the thermodynamic performance of three industrial bread production chains: one that generates food … waste, one that avoids food waste generation, and one that reworks food waste to produce new bread. The chemical exergy … flows were found to be much larger than the physical exergy consumed in all the industrial bread chains studied. The par …

This study reports the results of exergy, economic and environmental analyses of simple and combined heat and power …
