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 …

The exergy analysis of the human body is a tool that can provide indicators of health and life
quality. To perform the exergy balance it is necessary to calculate the metabolism on an …

Second Law of Thermodynamics has been applied in the past decade to human body as a
tool to provide indicators of health, performance and thermal comfort. Moreover, this kind of …

The aim of this work is to apply performance indicators for individuals under physical activity
based on the concepts of exergy destroyed and exergy efficiency. The cardiopulmonary …

The first and second laws of the thermodynamics were applied to the human body to
evaluate the performance of subjects under different training levels. Ten cyclists were …

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 …

Exergy analysis is applied to assess the quality of the energy conversion processes that take
place in the human body, aiming at developing indicators of health, performance and …

Some authors have been applying the exergy analysis to thermal comfort, where the
environmental conditions for minimal exergy destruction are claimed to correspond to …

This paper presents an exergy analysis of the human body under physical activity. A model
of the respiratory system and a model of the thermal system were used for this purpose …

Over the past decades, thermodynamics concepts applied to biological systems, such as the
human body, have aided in explaining their functioning. The first law of thermodynamics is …
