TLDR
In this paper, the interrelated parameters of energy, its thermodynamic availability, exergy and anergy are discussed, and wider use of the exergy concept is recommended because it would improve the effectiveness of both economic and energy accounting.About:

Thermal resistances of pressed contacts
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review aimed at assisting the designer in understanding the intricacy of this problem and the factors involved, as well as their behavior when heat is transferred across them.

Avoidable and unavoidable exergy destruction and exergoeconomic evaluation of the thermal processes in a real industrial plant
TL;DR: In this paper, a real industrial plant is analyzed using both conventional and advanced exergy analyses, and exergoeconomic evaluation, and it is shown that by improving the boiler operation (elimination of approximately 1 MW of avoidable exergy destruction in the steam boiler) the greatest improvement in the efficiency of the overall system can be achieved.

Design optimisation of a solar-energy harnessing system for stimulating an irrigation pump
TL;DR: In this paper, the solar-energy collector is an array of gravity-return heat pipes, each surrounded by a cylindrical high-vacuum enclosure, and the prime mover, in the form of a multi-vane expander, operates in an organic Rankine cycle using trichlorotrifluoroethane as the working fluid.

The Entropy Law and the Economic Process
TL;DR: In this paper, the Entropy Law and the economic process are discussed. But their focus is on the distribution of the entropy in the system, and not on the process itself, as we do.

Energy and Economic Myths
TL;DR: The authors pointed out that the economic profession is the most opportunistic of all, and that economists' attention has continually shifted from one problem to another, the problems often being not even closely related.
