The maximum theoretical work obtainable, when a system interacts to equilibrium with a reference environment, is called Correct Answer Exergy

Explanation:

  • Exergy (or) Available Energy: The maximum portion of energy that could be converted into useful work by ideal processes that reduce the system to a dead state(a state in equilibrium with the earth and its atmosphere).
    • Wmax = I + Wact ,where I = Irreversibility (loss of available energy)
  • Enthalpy: It is the total amount of energy contained within a system.
  • Entropy: It is the degree of randomness of the system.
