Exergy analysis

Exergy analysis is a second-law thermodynamic method that quantifies the useful work potential destroyed or lost in energy systems, ranking components by inefficiency to guide design improvement.

Exhaust air heat pump

An exhaust air heat pump is an air-source heat pump that recovers heat from a building's ventilation exhaust air; because its capacity is limited, it needs a supplementary heat source.

Exhaust gas

Exhaust gas, also known as car exhaust or tailpipe emissions, is the mixture of gases and particles that leaves an internal combustion engine or boiler after fuel burns.

Exhaust gas recirculation

Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is an engine emission control technique that routes exhaust gas back into the intake, cutting combustion temperatures and nitrogen oxide emissions in diesel and gasoline engines.

Exhaust system

An exhaust system is the set of pipes and components that carries engine combustion gases to the tailpipe, using mufflers to cut noise and catalytic converters to cut pollution.

Exide Industries

Exide Industries Limited, incorporated in 1947, is an Indian storage battery manufacturer headquartered in Kolkata, making lead-acid batteries for automotive and industrial applications and building a lithium-ion cell business.

Exide Technologies

Exide Technologies is a battery manufacturer founded in 1888 as the Electric Storage Battery Company, split into separate Americas and European businesses after its 2020 bankruptcy.

Expandable tubulars

Expandable tubulars are steel pipes and liners that are mechanically expanded in situ after being run into an oil or gas wellbore, keeping downhole size for zonal isolation and casing repair.

Expanded polystyrene

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a rigid, closed-cell thermoplastic foam made from polystyrene beads and about 98 percent air, used mainly for protective packaging, building insulation, and temperature-controlled containers.

Extended-reach drilling

Extended-reach drilling (ERD) drills oil and gas wells whose horizontal reach is at least twice their vertical depth, coined by Mobil Oil in the early 1980s.

Exterior insulation and finish system

Exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS), known in Europe as external thermal insulation composite system, is a multi-layered wall cladding combining continuous insulation with a durable, decorative finish.

Extraction of petroleum

Extraction of petroleum is the set of industrial operations that bring crude oil from a subsurface reservoir to the surface, from drilling through primary, secondary, and enhanced recovery.
