Limiting Performance of the Ejector Refrigeration Cycle with Pure Working Fluids

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
An ejector refrigeration system is a promising heat-driven refrigeration technology for energy consumption. The ideal cycle of an ejector refrigeration cycle (ERC) is a compound cycle with an inverse Carnot cycle driven by a Carnot cycle. The coefficient

The Principle of Least Action for Reversible Thermodynamic Processes and Cycles

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
The principle of least action, which is usually applied to natural phenomena, can also be used in optimization problems with manual intervention. Following a brief introduction to the brachistochrone problem in classical mechanics, the principle of least
