Application of entransy theory in the heat transfer optimization of flat-plate solar collectors [PDF]
The flat-plate solar collector is an important component in solar-thermal systems, and its heat transfer optimization is of great significance in terms of the efficiency of energy utilization. However, most existing flat-plate collectors adopt metallic absorber plates with uniform thickness, which often works against energy conservation. In this paper,

Minimizing entransy dissipation for heat transfer processes with q∝Δ(Tn) and heat leakage
Heat transfer process with heat leakage and generalized radiative heat transfer law (HTL) [q∝Δ(Tn)] is investigated. Optimality condition for the minimum entransy dissipation (MED) is derived by applying average optimal control theory.
