exergyhäviöitä
Exergyhäviöitä, often translated as exergy loss or exergy destruction, refers to the irreversible loss of potential work that occurs in any real thermodynamic process. Exergy is a measure of the maximum useful work that can be obtained from a system as it comes into equilibrium with its surroundings. During any process, such as heat transfer, mixing, or chemical reactions, some of this potential work is inevitably lost due to irreversibilities like friction, heat transfer across a finite temperature difference, and non-equilibrium processes.
These losses are a fundamental aspect of thermodynamics and are quantified using the second law of thermodynamics.
