Figure 4
Exergy balance for the traditional furnace, exergy in kJ. Humid bagasse (Exbh), sugarcane juice (Exjc), evaporated water (Exae), panela (Exp), chimney gases (Exgh), and exergy destruction (Exdp). Exap represents the exergy harnessed and consumed during the operation and corresponds to the sum of Exae and Exp.
