The purpose of the present work was therefore: (a) to extend the exergy destruction analysis by including the exhaust gas exergy while applying the hybrid filtered Eulerian stochastic field (ESF) method coupled with the FGM chemistry tabulation strategy; (b) to introduce a novel method for evaluating the exergy content of exhaust gases; and (c) to highlight a link between exhaust gas exergy and combustion emissions. In this work, the adiabatic Sandia flames E and F were chosen as application combustion systems. First, the numerical results of the flow and scalar fields were validated by comparison with the experimental data. The under-utilization of eight stochastic fields (SFs), the flow field results and the associated scalar fields for the flame E show excellent agreement contrary to flame F. Then, the different exergy losses were calculated and analyzed. The heat transfer and chemical reaction are the main factors responsible for the exergy destruction during combustion. The chemical exergy of the exhaust gases shows a strong relation between the exergy losses and combustion emission as well as the gas exhaust temperature.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e24040564","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,18]],"date-time":"2022-04-18T22:04:02Z","timestamp":1650319442000},"page":"564","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["The Exergy Losses Analysis in Adiabatic Combustion Systems including the Exhaust Gas Exergy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Senda","family":"Agrebi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Reactive Flows and Diagnostics, Technical University of Darmstadt, 64287 Darmstadt, Germany"},{"name":"Institute of Energy and Power Plant Technology, Technical University of Darmstadt, 64287 Darmstadt, Germany"},{"name":"Mechanics, Modelling Energy and Materials Unit (M2EM), National School of Engineers of Gabes, Gabes 6029, Tunisia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0098-4866","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Louis","family":"Dre\u00dfler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Reactive Flows and Diagnostics, Technical University of Darmstadt, 64287 Darmstadt, Germany"},{"name":"Institute of Energy and Power Plant Technology, Technical University of Darmstadt, 64287 Darmstadt, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1958-4670","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kaushal","family":"Nishad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Reactive Flows and Diagnostics, Technical University of Darmstadt, 64287 Darmstadt, Germany"},{"name":"Institute of Energy and Power Plant Technology, Technical University of Darmstadt, 64287 Darmstadt, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"869","DOI":"10.1016\/S1540-7489(02)80111-0","article-title":"Analysis of entropy generation and exergy loss during combustion","volume":"29","author":"Nishida","year":"2002","journal-title":"Proc.
