T.E.C. Is the closest possible approximated measure of energy expended in any biochemical and or socioeconomic process from start (A) to finish (B) generally portrayed in calories and represented as a percentage in decimal form.
i.e. A boat carrying a load from South Africa to Beijing has a stand still value of (Xcalories) @ point (A)=Xcal. divided by the total calculable energy in calories expensed in “fuel”, “labor”, “payload loss” and “mechanical breakdown” used upon reaching point (B)=Xcal. where {Xt.e.c. = (A)Xcal. / (B)Xcal.}.
*Xt.e.c. = Total Efficiency Coefficient, (T.E.C.)
*Xt.e.c. = Total Efficiency Coefficient, (T.E.C.)

Exergy(Ex) is defined as the amount of work (=entropy - free energy) a system can perform when it is brought into thermodynamic equilibrium with its environment.
i.e. IAmax I = Exergy(Ex); ( Jorgensen et al., 1999
