Definition

A thermodynamic method that quantifies the maximum useful work obtainable from a system or process as it is brought to a specified reference environment (the dead state), by accounting for both energy content and irreversibilities; exergy is a state function measured relative to that reference and is not conserved when irreversible processes occur.
