It's something I picked up from some Thermo books. By definition, it's the max amount of work that a system can perform in coming to equilibrium with the environment. I really don't know if it's just an academic concept or something used in real world thermodynamics engineering like...
This is not a HW problem. I am retired and reviewing Thermo. If my question is inappropriate, my apologies. Feel free to remove it.
I am reviewing from a number of Thermo texts. One text (Lee-Sears) says that the difference in availability (exergy) between two equilibrium states is the max work...
Thermodynamics textbooks define availability (exergy) as the max amount of work that a system can perform as it goes to equilibrium with environment and interacts with it.
They also define difference in availability (exergy) between two states. Is the difference in availability (exergy) the max...
