Page 1 Introduction • There are many forms in which an energy can exist. But even under ideal conditions all these forms cannot be converted completely into work. This indicates that energy has two parts : - Available part - Unavailable part • ‘Available energy’ or ‘Exergy’: is the maximum portion of energy which could be converted into useful work by ideal processes which reduce the system to a dead state (a state in equilibrium with the earth and its atmosphere). - There can be only one value for maximum work which the system alone could do while descending to its dead state, therefore 'Available energy’ is a property • ‘Unavailable energy’ or Anergy’: is the portion of energy which could not be converted into useful work and is rejected to the surroundings Page 2 Introduction • There are many forms in which an energy can exist.
