Consider a thermal energy reservoir at 1500 K that can supply heat at a rate of 150,000 kJ/h. Determine the exergy of this supplied energy, assuming an environment temperature of 25°C.
Hot combustion gases enter the nozzle of a turbojet engine at 230 kPa, 627°C, and 60 m/s and exit at 70 kPa and 450°C. Assuming the nozzle to be adiabatic and the surroundings to be at 20°C, determine the decrease in the exergy of the gases. Take k = 1.3 and cp = 1.15 kJ/kg·°C for the combustion gases.
Can closed-system exergy be negative? How about flow exergy? Explain using an incompressible substance as an example.
