An Overview of Thermodynamic Interpretation

Abstract

This study focuses on some of the most recent
breakthroughs in various aspects of
thermodynamic analysis. As a result of the
enormous number of publications on the
subject, it is constrained and will mistakenly
exclude some valuable work. Thermodynamic
assessments are primarily concerned with
analyzing thermodynamic flaws and
proposing methods to improve these flaws.
The thermodynamic analyses in this review
have been summarized using the following
approaches. Equipartition principle, second
law analysis, exergy analysis, pinch analysis,
Gibbs free energy minimization,
thermoeconomics, exergoeconomics, and
extended energy analysis are the first, second,
third, and fourth. The following systems are
covered using energy analysis, the most used
methodology: Applications for power cycles,
examples of applications include heat and
fluid movement, solar power, waste heat
recovery, biomass and coal gasification,
distillation column systems, and five more
microchannel categories. Aside from that, a
basic review of static and non-equilibrium
thermodynamics is given. One of the key
results of this overview, heat and fluid flow
systems have been the primary subjects of
thermodynamic analysis. If thermodynamic
analysis is effectively applied to a range of
multi-scale chemical processes, biological, and
physical systems, it could become more
effective and valuable.
