The Differential Entropy Generation Rate as a Unified Measure for Both the Stability and Efficiency of an Axial Compressor

open access: yesMachines, 2023
Stability and efficiency are the two most important performance indicators of highly loaded aviation axial compressors; however, they often cannot be achieved simultaneously.

Zero Entropy Is Generic [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2016
Dan Rudolph showed that for an amenable group, Γ, the generic measure-preserving action of Γ on a Lebesgue space has zero entropy. Here, this is extended to nonamenable groups. In fact, the proof shows that every action is a factor of a zero entropy action!

Numerical studies for effect of geometrical parameters on water jet pump performance via entropy generation analysis

open access: yesJournal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, 2023
This paper presented an implementation of entropy generation analysis in the main flow field of a water jet pump via the CFD method. This study aimed to identify the inefficient location of energy conversion and to analyse entropy generation sources in ...

Teaching Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics Simultaneously through Pipeline Flow Experiments

open access: yesFluids, 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.

Entropy Generation during Turbulent Flow of Zirconia-water and Other Nanofluids in a Square Cross Section Tube with a Constant Heat Flux

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
The entropy generation based on the second law of thermodynamics is investigated for turbulent forced convection flow of ZrO2-water nanofluid through a square pipe with constant wall heat flux.

Generalized entropies and the similarity of texts [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 2017
We show how generalized Gibbs-Shannon entropies can provide new insights on the statistical properties of texts. The universal distribution of word frequencies (Zipf's law) implies that the generalized entropies, computed at the word level, are dominated by words in a specific range of frequencies.

Effect of non-uniform temperature distribution on entropy generation and enthalpy for the laminar developing pipe flow of a high Prandtl number fluid [PDF]

open access: yesChemical Review and Letters, 2019
In this article, Entropy generation and enthalpy are investigated on the pipe wall in developed laminar flow for 7 cases. Variation of entropy generation and enthalpy are shown along the radius.
