Consider the car engine and assume the fuel energy is delivered at a constant 1500 K. The 70% of the energy that is lost is 40% exhaust flow at 900 K and the remainder 30% heat transfer to the walls at 450 K goes on to the coolant fluid at 370 K, finally ending up in atmospheric air at ambient 20°C. Find all the energy and exergy flows for this heat engine. Find also the exergy destruction and where that is done.

From the example in the text we get:

Assume all the fuel energy is delivered at 1500 K then that has an exergy of
