Applied Energy, 1981, vol. 8, issue 1, 79-85

Abstract: The conventional first law energy balance accounts for all energy inputs to a system in terms of eventual energy rejection to the environment. The second law analysis examines the thermodynamic grade of energy presented to each station within the system. A simple model is analysed to demonstrate the energy savings possible by cascading energy flows according to second law principles.
