The results suggest that a systematic correlation exists for capital cost and exergy loss but not for capital cost and energy loss.
Thermodynamic loss rate-to-capital cost ratios are used to show that, for station devices and the overall station, a systematic correlation appears to exist between capital cost and exergy loss (total or internal), but not between capital cost and energy loss or external exergy loss.
Thermodynamic loss rate-to-capital cost ratios are used to show that, for the devices and the overall system, a systematic correlation appears to exist between capital cost and exergy loss (total or internal), but not between capital cost and energy loss or external exergy loss.
Thermodynamic loss rate-to-capital cost ratios are used to show that, for components and the overall system, a systematic correlation appears to exist between capital cost and exergy loss (total or internal), but not between capital cost and energy loss or external exergy loss.
Similar issues exist with capital for fuel-efficient cars, solar panels, energy efficient heating and lighting, he notes.
A third problem that exists in capital theory is that of the period of production and the time structure of the economic process.
The approach presented here examines thermodynamic and economic data for mature devices and shows that correlations exist between capital costs and thermodynamic losses for devices.
But would this still hold true in a society where robust levels of social capital existed?
As the editorial notes, such protections have existed in the capital, Indianapolis, since it passed a human rights ordinance in December 2005.
But the core of this country's past is in the centuries before the capital existed, and that history comes most powerfully to life in the National Museum of Mongolian History.
