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 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 ...

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 ...

Convergence of generalized entropy minimizers in sequences of convex problems [PDF]
2016 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT), 2016 Integral functionals based on convex normal integrands are minimized over convex constraint sets. Generalized minimizers exist under a boundedness condition. Sequences of the minimization problems are studied when the constraint sets are nested. The corresponding sequences of generalized minimizers are related to the minimization over limit convex sets.

Miller cycle analysis using EGM [PDF]
, 2005 The Entropy Generation Minimization (EGM) method is based on the analysis by three sciences (thermodynamics, fluid flow and heat transfer) of the different processes that may occur in a system or in an equipment.

Second-law analysis of fluid flow over an isothermal moving wedge
Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2014 In this study, entropy generation minimization (EGM) was employed to optimize fluid flow and heat transfer over a moving wedge. Governing partial differential equations including continuity, momentum and energy are reduced to ordinary ones using ...
