An Entropy Generation Rate Model for Tropospheric Behavior That Includes Cloud Evolution [PDF]
A postulate that relates global warming to higher entropy generation rate demand in the tropospheric is offered and tested. This article introduces a low-complexity model to calculate the entropy generation rate required in the troposphere.

Self-Organization, Entropy Generation Rate, and Boundary Defects: A Control Volume Approach. [PDF]
Self-organization that leads to the discontinuous emergence of optimized new patterns is related to entropy generation and the export of entropy. Compared to the original pattern that the new, self-organized pattern replaces, the new features could involve an abrupt change in the pattern-volume. There is no clear principle of pathway selection for self-

Entropy generation rate minimization for sulfur trioxide decomposition membrane reactor
Sulfuric acid decomposition is the critical reaction in sulfur-iodide thermochemical cycle to produce oxygen. Sulfuric acid can decompose spontaneously into sulfur trioxide (SO3) and water, and SO3 continues to decompose into oxygen and sulfur dioxide ...

Entropy Generation Rate Minimization for Methanol Synthesis via a CO2 Hydrogenation Reactor. [PDF]
The methanol synthesis via CO2 hydrogenation (MSCH) reaction is a useful CO2 utilization strategy, and this synthesis path has also been widely applied commercially for many years. In this work the performance of a MSCH reactor with the minimum entropy generation rate (EGR) as the objective function is optimized by using finite time thermodynamic and ...

Minimization of entropy generation rate in methanol steam reforming reactor
The methanol steam reforming (MSR) reaction is a prospective method in hydrogen generation because of its operability and high conversion efficiency. Most of the current thermodynamic studies involving MSR use classical thermodynamic methods, while fewer

Heat Transfer and Entropy Generation Evaluation on Molten Salt Tank Foundation with Internal Water Cooling [PDF]
Molten salt tanks are used to store and release thermal energy. Large heat leakage through the molten salt tank foundation to the ground and high temperature of the foundation are detrimental to long-term operation safety.
