Nowadays, studies are focused on the effective use of energy resources in sustainable
agricultural applications. These studies include the use of less energy resources and less …

The hypothesis of an increase in free energy (exergy) by ecosystems during evolution is
tested on direct measurements. As a measuring system of thermodynamic parameters …

The first and second laws of thermodynamics were applied to the human body in order to
evaluate the quality of the energy conversion during muscle activity. Such an …

This article focuses on studying the effects of muscle and fat percentages on the exergy
behavior of the human body under several environmental conditions. The main objective is …

Energy harvesting systems can capture and convert small amounts of energy from various
