用(能量和(火用))分析的热力学方法来说明工业中的能源利用。研究了提高能源效率的范围和发挥“改进潜力”的程度。热力性能差的主要原因是燃烧和换热过程中的火用损失。已故的威廉·范·古尔教授(一位著名的荷兰物理化学家)走在了能源和(火用)方法开发和应用的前沿。他还探讨了能源和经济之间的联系。回顾了范·古尔和其他为工业能量分析奠定基础的研究人员的工作。这些贡献被放在现代可持续发展范式的更广泛的背景下，并讨论了它们对欧洲联盟能源和环境战略未来方向的影响。热力学概念已被各种学科的从业者利用，这些学科对环境可持续性感兴趣，包括生态学、经济学和工程学。对资源枯竭和环境退化的普遍担忧是他们所有人的共同之处。范古尔在推动经济和物理科学之间的对话方面发挥了重要作用。一些研究人员认为热力学参数反映了社会内部的能量转换。然而，有人认为(在哈蒙德大奖赛之后。工程可持续性：热力学、能源系统和环境。InJ Energy Res 2004；28：613-639。)它们可能只是反映了一种微弱的类比或比喻，而不是在物理意义上代表热力学极限。
Thermodynamic methods of (energy and exergy) analysis are employed to illustrate energy use in industry. The scope for increasing energy efficiency, and the extent of exergetic ‘improvement potential’ are examined. Poor thermodynamic performance is principally the result of exergy losses in combustion and heat-transfer processes. The late Professor Willem van Gool (a distinguished Dutch physical chemist) was at the forefront of the development and application of energy and exergy methods. He also explored the link between energy and economics. The work of van Gool and others researchers who laid down the foundations of industrial energy analysis are reviewed. These contributions are placed in the broader context of the modern paradigm of sustainable development, and their implications for the future direction of European Union energy and environmental strategies are discussed. Thermodynamic concepts have been utilised by practitioners in a variety of disciplines with interests in environmental sustainability, including ecology, economics and engineering. Widespread concern about resource depletion and environmental degradation are common to them all. Van Gool was instrumental in stimulating a dialogue across the economic and physical sciences. Some researchers view thermodynamic parameters as mirroring energy transformations within society. However, it is argued (after Hammond GP. Engineering sustainability: thermodynamics, energy systems, and the environment. Int J Energy Res 2004;28:613–639.) that they may simply reflect a weak analogy or metaphor, rather than representing thermodynamic limits in a physical sense.
