Exergy Modeling to Compare Engineered Products to Biological Systems for Sustainable Design

An ambitious and novel approach to engineering design and sustainability has been taken to explore the potential of drawing parallels between mechanical and biological systems for the possible development of sustainable engineering design metrics using a thermodynamic model. This approach looks to b...
