How to Memorize "exergy"

1. visualize
   

   - To visualize exergy, imagine a system with the potential to do work, such as a water turbine. The exergy represents the maximum reversible work that can be done by that system before it reaches thermal equilibrium with its surroundings.

2. associate
   

   - To memorize exergy, associate it with the concept of potential energy and the idea of maximum reversible work. Visualize a system with the potential to do work, and remember that exergy measures the maximum reversible work that can be done by that system.

3. mnemonics
   

   - A mnemonic for exergy could be 'Exergy is Maximum Reversible Work' or 'Exergy: Maximum Reversible Work'.
