Exergy is a comprehensive concept that includes the first and second principles of thermodynamics and represents the best way to treat complex thermal systems that involve different types of energy flows (thermal, electrical, mechanical, and chemical, etc.). Therefore, any search for energy efficiency or optimization of a system must use the approach of exergy. At the same time, the engineer should minimize the operating and capital costs of the system. The Exergo-Economy approach is a combination of economic and economic analysis and its results allow to answer to these two engineering concerns.

Dr Abdelhamid Kheiri is a member of LEMTA laboratory (Lorraine University and CNRS, France). He is a Thermodynamic and Thermal systems specialist and its current researches include System Energy Integration where the optimizations seek energy and exergy efficiencies as well as overall cost reduction.
