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 ...

Additive generalization of the Boltzmann entropy [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2003
There exists only one generalization of the classical Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy functional to a one-parametric family of additive entropy functionals. We find analytical solution to the corresponding extension of the classical ensembles, and discuss in some detail the example of the deformation of the uncorrelated state.

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.

Optimization of Peripheral Finned-Tube Evaporators Using Entropy Generation Minimization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The peripheral finned-tube (PFT) is a new geometry for enhanced air-side heat transfer under moisture condensate blockage (evaporators). It consists of individual hexagonal (peripheral) fin arrangements with radial fins whose bases are attached to the ...
