Exergy Analysis: From Cells to Societies: A Unified Approach
暫譯: 能量效率分析：從細胞到社會的統一方法

本書探討熱力學第二定律在各種系統中的應用，超越了對熱機的典型評估。它利用品質指標作為診斷不同能量轉換系統的工具，解決從系統故障到社會中合理使用能源等問題。

分析分為兩種類型：第一種是從生物系統的表面到核心，第二種是從表面到環境，稱為社會可用能分析。後者是一個目前正在發展的新領域。

Carlos Eduardo Keutenedjian Mady is an associate professor at the Institute of Energy and Environment at the University of São Paulo, Brazil. He teaches courses on basic thermodynamics and its application in society, emphasizing the efficient use of energy quality in various energy conversion processes. He teaches a course, "Energy Education" to undergraduates, which explains thermodynamics concepts and their applications to everyday appliances. His graduate courses teach analysis of Brazil as a transnational system and the evaluation of each industry sector's specific need.

Professor Mady has worked on optimization of energy systems in the caustic soda, gelatin, and automotive industries. He has published research challenging the immediate need to electrify the national fleet, arguing that ethanol has a carbon footprint similar to that of electricity in Brazil. His work in bioengineering involves creating models to enhance human energy use from nutrients, with a focus on sports performance and health treatments.

卡洛斯·愛德華多·克特內德揚·馬迪（Carlos Eduardo Keutenedjian Mady）是巴西聖保羅大學能源與環境研究所的副教授。他教授基礎熱力學及其在社會中的應用課程，強調在各種能源轉換過程中有效利用能源品質。他為本科生教授一門名為「能源教育」的課程，解釋熱力學概念及其在日常家電中的應用。他的研究生課程則教授巴西作為一個跨國系統的分析，以及評估各行業特定需求。

馬迪教授曾在氫氧化鈉、明膠和汽車產業中從事能源系統的優化工作。他發表的研究質疑立即電氣化國家車隊的必要性，主張乙醇的碳足跡與巴西的電力相似。他在生物工程方面的工作涉及創建模型，以增強人類從營養素中獲取能量的能力，重點關注運動表現和健康治療。
