   • 2012, G. Tsatsaronis, “Design Optimization Using Exergoeconomics”, in Adrian Bejan, Eden Mamut, editor, Thermodynamic Optimization of Complex Energy Systems, page 101:

     In addition, exergoeconomics is a very powerful tool for understanding the interconnections between thermodynamics and economics, and, thus, the behavior of an energy conversion plant from the cost viewpoint.

   • 2018, Ibrahim Dincer, Comprehensive Energy Systems, page 374:
