  2. Exergy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exergy

    Note that the exergy flux of graybody radiation can be a small fraction of the energy flux. For example, the ratio of exergy flux to energy flux (/) for graybody radiation with emissivity = is equal to 40.0%, for = and = (=). That is, a maximum of only 40% of the graybody energy flux can be converted to work in this case (already only 50% of ...

  3. Mass–energy equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass–energy_equivalence

    Mass–energy equivalence states that all objects having mass, or massive objects, have a corresponding intrinsic energy, even when they are stationary.In the rest frame of an object, where by definition it is motionless and so has no momentum, the mass and energy are equal or they differ only by a constant factor, the speed of light squared (c 2).

  4. Energy quality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_quality

    Energy quality is a measure of the ease with which a form of energy can be converted to useful work or to another form of energy: i.e. its content of thermodynamic free energy. A high quality form of energy has a high content of thermodynamic free energy, and therefore a high proportion of it can be converted to work; whereas with low quality ...

  5. Gouy–Stodola theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouy–Stodola_theorem

    The exergy of the system is the maximal amount of useful work that the system can generate, during a process which brings it to equilibrium with its environment, or the amount of energy available. During an irreversible process , such as heat exchanges with reservoirs, exergy is destroyed.

  6. First law of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_law_of_thermodynamics

    The component of total energy transfer that accompanies the transfer of vapor into the surrounding subsystem is customarily called 'latent heat of evaporation', but this use of the word heat is a quirk of customary historical language, not in strict compliance with the thermodynamic definition of transfer of energy as heat. In this example ...

  7. Second law of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_law_of_thermodynamics

    Second law analysis is valuable in scientific and engineering analysis in that it provides a number of benefits over energy analysis alone, including the basis for determining energy quality (exergy content [66] [67] [68]), understanding fundamental physical phenomena, and improving performance evaluation and optimization. As a result, a ...

    Charles Haldat made some penetrating criticisms of the reproducibility of Rumford's results [15] and it is possible to see the whole experiment as somewhat tendentious. [16] However, the experiment inspired the work of James Prescott Joule in the 1840s. Joule's more exact measurements were pivotal in establishing the kinetic theory at the ...

  9. Energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy

    Forms of energy include the kinetic energy of a moving object, the potential energy stored by an object (for instance due to its position in a field), the elastic energy stored in a solid object, chemical energy associated with chemical reactions, the radiant energy carried by electromagnetic radiation, the internal energy contained within a ...
