Exergy decrease in shock waves and boundary layers of space launch vehicles
The exergy method of analysis uses both the First and Second laws of Thermodynamics to determine where losses occur. This method has been shown to be superior to conventional heat balance analyzes. A primary contributor to the exergy decrease is the production of entropy. Entropy is produced in shoc...
