Energy аnd еxergy аnalysis оf fuel consumption In agricultural sector – Serbian Case

Abstract

Agricultural sector is of great importance to every society. It is also a great energy consumer. Based on the relevant statistical data on the use of various energy sources, it can be concluded that diesel is the most used fuel in Serbia today. It is used to run the agricultural machineries. Therefore, a thermodynamic analysis of energy use in the agricultural sector of Serbia was conducted considering the fuel consumption for the ten-year period from 2008 to 2017. The paper presents an energy and exergy analysis of the use of energy products for the needs of agricultural mechanization in Serbia. A comparison was made with the available data from other countries.
