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 thermal comfort based on the …

Background Obesity prevalence is increasing worldwide, and it causes restrictions in the
respiratory system. Bioenergetics is known as energy management in a living cell …

The concept of exergy in living organisms has been widely used to explore correlations
between exergy and different physiological conditions. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an abnormal …

Thermodynamic aspects of skeletal and cardiac muscle work performance are assessed
with the data obtained from the literature. Since the second law muscle work efficiency …

The purpose of this study is to develop a comprehensive thermodynamic model of the
human respiratory system and quantify the effects of inspiratory air temperature, relative …

A precedent study about the effects of obesity on exergy behavior concluded that higher
body fat per se does not lead to higher mortality among obese people; the focus must be …

We can use the concept of exergy to analyze a human body as a heat emitter: while
generating heat continuously, the body remains at roughly the same temperature through …

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 …

In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyse the exergetic efficiency of human
respiratory system including effect of age and gender. From the analysis it has been …

The present work evaluates the impact of carbon monoxide (CO) inhalation on the human
lung's exergy behavior by considering different levels of intoxication and amounts of …
