Performance analysis of micro-fin tubes compared to smooth tubes as a heat transfer enhancement technique for flow condensation

open access: yesEnergy Nexus, 2022
Heat transfer enhancement techniques are accompanied by pressure drop amplification, detrimentally affecting their performance; entropy generation analysis is an effective approach to assess heat transfer enhancement along with resulting pressure drop ...

Performance optimization of centrifugal pump based on particle swarm optimization and entropy generation theory

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2023
Centrifugal pumps are frequently utilized in general machinery, but they have issues with low efficiency, unstable operation, and high-power consumption in actual engineering, making performance improvements necessary.

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!

Recommendations and illustrations for the evaluation of photonic random number generators

open access: yes, 2017
The never-ending quest to improve the security of digital information combined with recent improvements in hardware technology has caused the field of random number generation to undergo a fundamental shift from relying solely on pseudo-random algorithms

Multi-dimensional key generation of ICMetrics for cloud computing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Despite the rapid expansion and uptake of cloud based services, lack of trust in the provenance of such services represents a significant inhibiting factor in the further expansion of such service.

On Generalized Schürmann Entropy Estimators

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
We present a new class of estimators of Shannon entropy for severely undersampled discrete distributions. It is based on a generalization of an estimator proposed by T. Schürmann, which itself is a generalization of an estimator proposed by myself.For a special set of parameters, they are completely free of bias and have a finite variance, something ...
