Exergy Analysis and Its Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Due to the energy crisis and its environmental impact, improving the efficiency of cooling, power, and energy systems has become one of the most important aspects of the energy sector. Thermodynamic and exergy analyses provide better insight for the design, development, optimization, and performance improvement of these cooling, power, and energy systems. This Topic aims to address the current pressing problems in the development of advanced and innovative cooling, power, and energy systems using thermodynamic and exergy analyses.

Papers are invited that investigate thermal and operational characteristics of novel and creative systems, and improved conventional cooling power and energy systems. Topics may include studies on the system components and whole cycles related to the cooling, energy, and power systems. Additionally, papers are welcome that deal with the thermodynamic process of the currently hot and new technologies that are proposed for energy savings or for the purpose of environmental protection. System and components optimization through thermodynamic and exergy analyses for performance enhancement is also very welcome.
