Entropy Generation via Ohmic Heating and Hall Current in Peristaltically-Flowing Carreau Fluid
Entropy, 2019 The core objective of the present study is to examine entropy generation minimization via Hall current and Ohmic heating. Carreau fluid considerations interpret the unavailability of systems’ thermal energy (for mechanical work).

Generalized entropy minimization under full marginal constraints
, 2020 We consider the problem of minimizing a generalized relative entropy, with respect to a reference diffusion law, over the set of path-measures with fully prescribed marginal distributions. When dealing with the actual relative entropy, problems of this kind have appeared in the stochastic mechanics literature, and minimizers go under the name of Nelson

A mathematical model for entropy generation in a Powell-Eyring nanofluid flow in a porous channel
Heliyon, 2019 The continuous generation of entropy leads to exergy destruction which reduces the performance of a physical system. Hence, entropy minimization becomes necessary.

Entropy Generation During the Interaction of Thermal Radiation with a Surface
Entropy, 2012 The entropy calculation for radiation fluxes is reviewed and applied to simple radiation-surface interactions. A plate interacting with radiation from a hot object in the zenith of the hemisphere surrounded by a colder atmosphere is analyzed in detail ...

Maximum power, ecological function and efficiency of an irreversible Carnot cycle. A cost and effectiveness optimization [PDF]
, 2007 In this work we include, for the Carnot cycle, irreversibilities of linear finite rate of heat transferences between the heat engine and its reservoirs, heat leak between the reservoirs and internal dissipations of the working fluid. A first optimization

Sparse Signal Recovery via Generalized Entropy Functions Minimization
IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, 2019 Compressive sensing relies on the sparse prior imposed on the signal of interest to solve the ill-posed recovery problem in an under-determined linear system. The objective function used to enforce the sparse prior information should be both effective and easily optimizable.
