  2. Exergy efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exergy_efficiency

    For example, a typical combined cycle power plant burning methane may have an energy efficiency of 55%, while its exergy efficiency will be 57%. A 100% exergy efficient methane fired power station would correspond to an energy efficiency of 98%. This means that for many of the fuels we use, the maximum efficiency that can be achieved is >90% ...

  3. Exergy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exergy

    Exergy is a combination property [6] of a system and its environment because it depends on the state of both and is a consequence of dis-equilibrium between them. Exergy is neither a thermodynamic property of matter nor a thermodynamic potential of a system. Exergy and energy always have the same units, and the joule (symbol: J) is the unit of ...

  4. Energy quality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_quality

    Exergy analysis now forms a common part of many industrial and ecological energy analyses. For example, I.Dincer and Y.A. Cengel (2001, p. 132) state that energy forms of different qualities are now commonly dealt with in steam power engineering industry. Here the "quality index" is the relation of exergy to the energy content (Ibid.).

  5. Efficient energy use - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficient_energy_use

    Common energy efficiency label on appliances to indicate their energy efficiency in a clear manner. Efficient energy use, or energy efficiency, is the process of reducing the amount of energy required to provide products and services. There are many technologies and methods available that are more energy efficient than conventional systems.

  6. Isentropic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_process

    Most steady-flow devices operate under adiabatic conditions, and the ideal process for these devices is the isentropic process. The parameter that describes how efficiently a device approximates a corresponding isentropic device is called isentropic or adiabatic efficiency. [12] Isentropic efficiency of turbines:

  7. Energy conversion efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_conversion_efficiency

    Energy conversion efficiency depends on the usefulness of the output. All or part of the heat produced from burning a fuel may become rejected waste heat if, for example, work is the desired output from a thermodynamic cycle. Energy converter is an example of an energy transformation.

  8. How Democrats Are Faring In First Tests Of The Trump Backlash

    data.huffingtonpost.com/2017/special-elections

    In Connecticut’s 2nd Senate District, for example, Republicans decreased their loss margin by some 20 percentage points. But Democrats see promising signs in other areas. In Iowa’s 45th Senate District, where Clinton defeated Trump by about 16 percentage points, Democrat Jim Lykam defeated Mike Gonzales, the GOP candidate, by an almost 50 ...

  9. Energy density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density

    Energy density differs from energy conversion efficiency (net output per input) or embodied energy (the energy output costs to provide, as harvesting, refining, distributing, and dealing with pollution all use energy). Large scale, intensive energy use impacts and is impacted by climate, waste storage, and environmental consequences.
