This work explores the design space of a low-fidelity exergy method by establishing its characteristic curves against classical integral boundary layer parameters. Analysis of exergy-based distributions along 2D airfoils demonstrates the approach's utility as a rapid diagnostic tool, guiding aerodynamic optimization by quantifying thermodynamic performance during conceptual aircraft design phases.
