The results indicate that the effectiveness only increases with decreasing revised entropy generation number, entransy … heat transfer rate increases with decreasing thermal resistance, increasing entropy generation and increasing entransy …

Based on the entransy dissipation theory, the multi-parameter optimization design of recuperator is conducted in an … as entransy dissipation number decreases. This is done only by optimizing the combination of design parameters of … recuperator taking entransy dissipation number as the objective function under certain constraint conditions, and the cost is no …

In the present work, the entransy and entransy dissipation are defined from the thermodynamic point of view. It is … shown that the entransy is a state variable and can be employed to describe the second law of thermodynamics. For heat … conduction, a principle of minimum entransy dissipation is established based on the second law of thermodynamics in terms of …
