Is it possible for exergy to be negative?
No, exergy is a measure of a system's potential to do work and cannot be negative. If the exergy value calculated for a system results in a negative number, it is likely due to errors in the calculations or assumptions made.
Can joules ever be negative?
In theory, joules can be negative if work is done on a system causing a decrease in its energy. However, in practice, negative values for energy are rarely encountered and are typically only used in certain mathematical or theoretical contexts.
How do you calculate the exergy analysis?
Exergy analysis calculates the maximum useful work that can be obtained from a system by accounting for the quality of energy. It involves determining the exergy input and exergy output of a system, usually by considering factors such as temperature, pressure, and irreversibilities. The exergy efficiency of a system can then be calculated as the ratio of useful work output to the exergy input.

How do you explain that gravity that pulls things to the center of an object?
Gravity is a fundamental force that causes objects with mass to be attracted to each other. The force of gravity is always directed towards the center of mass of an object, which is why things are pulled towards the center. This is true for all objects with mass, from stars and planets to everyday objects on Earth.
What do you mean by positive and negative work?
Positive work is done when the force applied and the displacement of the object are in the same direction, leading to an increase in the object's energy. Negative work occurs when the force and displacement are in opposite directions, resulting in a decrease in the object's energy.
What does Exergy LLC manufacture?
The company Exergy LLC manufactures heat exchangers. Heat exchangers are items such as parts for boilers, engines and furnaces. Some of their products are used by Shell.

Why have to put minus sign before the formula of gravitational potential?
The negative sign in the formula for gravitational potential energy is used to signify that the potential energy is defined as zero at an infinite distance from the gravitational source. It allows for the interpretation that as objects move closer together, their potential energy decreases and is considered negative in relation to the reference point.

How work related to energy?
Work is the the more general term for the ability to act, ergy. Energy is en-ergy exergy is ex-ergy. Work is a quaternion in that work consists of sclar work and vector work (torque). Energy is the work involved in lifting a mass against gravity. Exergy is the work received form letting a mass fall with gravity. Torque is the work from a windmill.
