Exergy analysis is a tool, which indicates how far the system departs from the state of equilibrium. Exergy has been implemented as a preferred means of characterizing the impacts of resource consumption for the purpose of improving decision-making. The present study realizes an energy and exergy analysis for a heat exchanger in operation for a district heating system. Exergy balances of a heat exchanger were therefore established to identify the thermodynamic imperfections of the process using real data. They are...
