Entropy Generation Minimization for Energy-Efficient Desalination [PDF]
Volume 6B: Energy, 2018 Desalination systems can be conceptualized as power cycles, in which the useful work output is the work of separation of fresh water from saline water. In this framing, thermodynamic analysis provides powerful tools for raising energy efficiency.

Entropy Generation Minimization Analysis of Active Magnetic Regenerators [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2017 A performance assessment of active magnetocaloric regenerators using entropy generation minimization is presented. The model consists of the Brinkman-Forchheimer equation to describe the fluid flow and coupled energy equations for the fluid and solid ...

Diffuser and Nozzle Design Optimization by Entropy Generation Minimization [PDF]
Entropy, 2011 Diffusers and nozzles within a flow system are optimized with respect to their wall shapes for a given change in cross sections. The optimization target is a low value of the head loss coefficient K, which can be linked to the overall entropy generation ...

Entropy Generation Minimization Theoretical Analysis for External Flow Around Horizontal Cylinder at low Reynold Number [PDF]
Engineering and Technology Journal, 2018 The minimization of entropy generation is a helpful method to design optimum thermal system, and find an expression for entropy generation at several ranges of Reynolds number for heat transfer and friction flow irreversibility is a good way to achieve ...

Entropy Generation Minimization of a Thermoelectric Cooler [PDF]
The Open Thermodynamics Journal, 2008 In the present work, we develop a theoretical analysis to minimize the entropy generation of a thermo-electric cooler (TEC), which can be used to cool a processor. We have applied an analysis of first and second law of the Thermo- dynamics to a TEC. We consider the entropy generation equation as the objective function and the first law as a restric ...
