The paper presents the Fundamental Concepts, Equations and Diagrams in a new domain which is the extension of Thermodynamics with Finite Speed (TFS), invented and called by us: Quantum Biological Thermodynamics with Finite Speed of the Cardio-Pulmonary System (QBTFSCPS). The new concepts are: Stationary States, parameters of Stationary States, Processes between Stationary States with or without Quantum Jump, Non-Stationary States. Essential parameters of the Stationary States are: Frequency of Heart Oscillations FH, Frequency of Lungs Oscillations FL and Quantum Number N - which characterize the Synergetic (ordered) Interaction between Heart and Lungs, in a Stationary State. We present also a Fundamental Equation discovered by us, based on experimental data, which describes any Stationary States and 4 Equations of the Processes between these States in the Cardio-Pulmonary System. Based on these new concepts and new equations we invented 6 Diagrams which describe graphically in synoptic images the Stationary States and Processes between them with or Without Quantum Jump, between Quantum levels represented by the Quantum Number N (an integer number = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, � etc.).

Exergy or availability concepts in steady flow are presented in an intuitive manner through use of physical models and accompanying property diagrams. The concept of exergy is explained through the use of reversible steady flow shaft work. The Gouy -Stodola theorem is proven and the processes illustrated using property diagrams. Finally, a comparison is made of the Carnot cycle operated as an engine, as a refrigerator and as a heat pump and exergetic efficiencies are shown for each. The exergetic and energetic Sankey balance diagrams for each of the three cycles are combined and compared to show the similarities and differences in the use of the exergetic method.
