Question
Can closed-system exergy be negative? How about flow exergy? Explain using an incompressible substance as an example.
Step 1
The exergy of a closed system is a measure of the maximum work that can be extracted from the system. It is given by the difference between the initial and final energy of the system. Since energy is always conserved, the exergy of a closed system cannot be Show more…

Is it possible for exergy to be negative? For exergy change to be negative?
For a certain incompressible flow field it is suggested that the velocity components are given by the equations \[u=2 x y \quad v=-x^{2} y \quad w=0\] Is this a physically possible flow field? Explain.
