      I sometimes find that for a Sink/Source, which is a source of a fluid, the exergy loss (exergy destroyed) is negative. Is it because there is no inlet stream of fluid into the Sink/Source?

      Dear Sreekanth, if could upload a specific, simple, example of such a case, that would be helpful.

        In the attachment, sink/sources 2, 3 and 7 have negative exergy losses. Does it imply exergy generation?

      If you make the air composition exactly like the Baehr environment conditions (it differs from the standard air composition and p = 1.01325 bar in your case) then you can see that the exergy flow in source 1 is only 0.01 kW, which may be a round-off error, as it should be 0 kW. In sink/source 2 the temperature is increased by 5 K. As a consequence the exergy flow to the system is 0.04 kW.

      In source 7 the pressure and temperature of the flue gasses are 2 bar and 250 C and the composition differs from the environment composition, which introduces both a thermo-mechanic and chemical exergy flow to the system.
