Sažetak
Followed by numerous intertwined factors. Thus, there is no doubt that the population will experience, and has already experienced, unpredictable scenarios that cause devastations, leading to economic and environmental issues. Energy related issues are in the epicentre of the 21st century and directly linked to the global economic growth and environmental footprint of the population. Evaluation and analysis of novel, or existing, energy systems, processes and components is crucial in order to be able to ensure increase in efficiency and to reduce any harmful impact to the environment. With respect to the previous issue, an exergy analysis represents a precise and flexible approach for efficient evaluation of energy systems, components and processes and evaluation of their impact to the environment. From a thermodynamic point of the view the exergy term is complex as it is linked to energy and entropy, but on the other side it is a precious engineering tool that ensures a necessary integral approach that should be applied in order to ensure a proper and correct analysis of different engineering issues and tasks. Finally, the role of exergy is undeniable and it should be a starting point for any analysis, and in some sense it is the foundation of sustainability.
