Entropy characterisation of overstressed capacitors for lifetime prediction [PDF]
, 2016 We propose a method to monitor the ageing and damage of capacitors based on their irreversible entropy generation rate. We overstressed several electrolytic capacitors in the range of 33 µF–100 µF and monitored their entropy generation rate View the ...

Teaching Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics Simultaneously through Pipeline Flow Experiments
Fluids, 2019 Entropy and entropy generation are abstract and illusive concepts for undergraduate students. In general, students find it difficult to visualize entropy generation in real (irreversible) processes, especially at a mechanistic level.
