Consider the following hypothetical process. Suppose a process can be driven by three different sources of exergy oil, coal, and solar energy. Using their current consumption rate, regeneration rate, and extent of natural deposits, the depletion times of oil and coal are calculated (Equation 13.13) to be 150 and 1000 years, respectively. For solar energy, the depletion time equals the lifetime of the sun, which is approximately 5 billion years (Table 13.4).
