Predicting Entropy Generation Rates in Transitional Boundary Layers Based on Intermittency

open access: yesJournal of Turbomachinery, 2006
Prediction of thermodynamic loss in transitional boundary layers is typically based on time-averaged data only. This approach effectively ignores the intermittent nature of the transition region. In this work laminar and turbulent conditionally sampled boundary layer data for zero pressure gradient and accelerating transitional boundary layers have ...

Entropy generation in condensation in the presence of high concentrations of noncondensable gases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The physical mechanisms of entropy generation in a condenser with high fractions of noncondensable gases are examined using scaling and boundary layer techniques, with the aim of defining a criterion for minimum entropy generation rate that is useful in ...

A mathematical model for entropy generation in a Powell-Eyring nanofluid flow in a porous channel

open access: yesHeliyon, 2019
The continuous generation of entropy leads to exergy destruction which reduces the performance of a physical system. Hence, entropy minimization becomes necessary.
