Optimal design of geometrical parameters and flow characteristics for Al2O3/water nanofluid inside corrugated heat exchangers by using entropy generation minimization and genetic algorithm methods

Applied Thermal Engineering, 2019
In this study, the effort has been focused on optimal amounts of the geometric and hydrodynamic characteristics of turbulent Al2O3/water nanofluid flow within the corrugated heat exchangers (HEXs). The optimization is carried out using entropy generation

Application of the entropy generation minimization method to solid mechanics

Applied Physics A, 2009
This paper reports on a study that explored the application of the entropy generation minimization method to solid mechanics. After reviewing the definition of thermodynamic process and the principles of continuum mechanics, the constitutive equations of four categories of solid behaviors namely thermoelasticity, thermoviscoelasticity, thermoplasticity,

Reinforcement Learning for Minimizing Entropy Generation in Energy Systems

This paper applies reinforcement learning to entropy generation minimization of energy systems, with examples of heat exchangers and wind turbines. Reinforcement learning is a branch of machine learning where an agent learns to make sequences of decisions by interacting with an environment to achieve a specific goal.

Entropy Generation Minimization, Exergy Analysis, and the Constructal Law

Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering, 2012
This is a review of the evolution of thermodynamics during the past four decades, from classical (engineering) thermodynamics, to thermodynamic optimization, entropy generation minimization, exergy analysis, and most recently the constructal law of design and evolution in nature.

Generation of Inhibitory Connections to Minimize Internal and External Entropy

1992
Abstract This paper presents a method to encode input patterns into internal representation with high selectivity. In the method, a modified complexity term is used to increase two kinds of selectivity in internal representation. First, a unit is selectively activated only for a specific pattern, while all other units are inactive for the pattern ...
