This book examines V.S. Stepanov's method of analysis of energy efficients of industrial production schemes, which takes into account the thermodynamic chemical energy and "exergy" of all substances/apparatuses involved, from the acquisition of raw materials to the recycling of waste products. Prognoses are made for large-scale metallurgical plants. Particular emphasis is placed on the assessment of the optimal volume of secondary energy resource use. This volume uses the fundamentals of thermodynamics to interest primarily students and workers in energy resource management and chemical and mechnical engineering.
