| Tiivistelmä: | The first part of a series of two articles presented an approach that takes the entropy production associated with any process as a measure of the resource consumption of that process. Entropy production is thereby used to approximate the intuitive notion of consumption, which can best be described by the term "loss of potential utility". This paper presents an application example from the metallurgical sector. The related concept of exergy analysis is discussed and compared against the entropy approach. |
