497 citations recorded by the source corpus.

Energy, entropy and exergy concepts come from thermodynamics and are applicable to all fields of science and engineering. Therefore, this article intends to provide background for better understanding of these concepts and their differences among various classes of life support systems with a diverse coverage. It also covers the basic principles, general definitions and practical applications and implications. Some illustrative examples are presented to highlight the importance of the aspects of energy, entropy and exergy and their roles in thermal engineering.

• Quantifying economic sustainability: Implications for free-enterprise theory, policy and practice (2009, unknown): “This approach adds a structural specificity lacking in earlier thermodynamic measures such as emergy (Odum, 1996) and exergy (Dincer and Cengel, 2001) which look at the level of free energy embodied in the organization, not how the organization's structure must be laid out for optimal longevity and ”
