Dear Colleagues,
"In a world rapidly running out of fossil fuel, the second law of thermodynamics (EXERGY) may well turn out to be the central scientific truth of the twenty-first century." (Prof. David Goodstein, Nature, Vol. 368, 14 April, 1994, p. 598).
As the new century begins, we are witnessing revolutionary changes in the way thermodynamics is taught, researched and practiced. The methods of exergy analysis, entropy generation minimization and thermoeconomics are the most visible and established forms of this change. The emphasis is now on modeling and thermodynamic optimization, not only in the mainstream of engineering but also in physics, biology, economics and management.
A very active and creative community of researchers, educators and practitioners has grown along these very exciting new lines. It is the editor's objective to bring the community together in the forum for Exergy, An International Journal (I. J.) and to expand it. The hope of all of us in thermodynamics is to develop a more coherent science, and to leave for future generations a more useful methodology.
Exergy,I. J.,will provide a forum for disseminating high-quality research results in the wide domain covered by the methods of exergy analysis, entropy generation minimization and thermoeconomics. Papers on related topics such as exergy utilization, irreversible process modeling, size and time constraints, environmental modeling, exergy waste and emissions and exergo-economics are welcome. Also welcome are studies devoted to method, modeling, theory, computational simulation, design, experiment, and measurement.
Our goal is to build Exergy, I. J., into a medium for the free discussion of ideas, the new and the old, the improved and the seemingly redundant, and the revolutionary and the traditional. With the support of the energy engineering community and the publisher, we the editors will work hard to establish Exergy, I. J., as the premier journal in the field. We invite all the readers to join us.
Dr Ibrahim Dincer Editor-in-Chief
