Abstract

The increasing demand for sustainable and efficient energy utilization has exposed limitations in conventional efficiency models, which primarily account for direct output while neglecting internally recoverable energy. This research proposes Anushrut’s Theory of Total Energy Recirculation (TERT), a theoretical framework that redefines system efficiency by incorporating energy recirculation within closed and semi-closed systems. The motivation of this work is to improve overall energy optimization, particularly in resource-constrained environments such as Nepal, where maximizing usable energy is critically important. The research adopts a theoretical and analytical methodology. A generalized energy model is developed in which total input energy is expressed as the sum of useful output energy, irrecoverable loss, and recirculated energy. A new metric, termed recirculation efficiency, is introduced to quantify the proportion of energy that can be recovered and reused within the system. Mathematical relationships are formulated to describe energy flow pathways, and conceptual models are constructed to compare the proposed framework with traditional efficiency approaches. The results demonstrate that incorporating recirculated energy into system evaluation provides a more comprehensive understanding of energy dynamics. The framework indicates that systems previously considered inefficient may exhibit improved effective performance when internal energy reuse is accounted for. This approach has potential applications in renewable energy systems, electronic circuits, thermal systems, and AI-driven optimization models, where energy conservation and efficiency are essential. In conclusion, TERT offers a novel perspective on energy utilization by bridging the gap between energy loss and energy reuse. Although the current work is theoretical and not yet experimentally validated, it establishes a strong foundation for future research. The future plan includes simulation-based validation, experimental prototyping, and integration with established thermodynamic principles to assess real-world applicability and scalability.
