Energy, Exergy, Entropy Generation Minimization, and Exergoenvironmental Analyses of Energy Systems-A Mini-Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Sustainability, 2022
Meeting the growing energy demands has become a crucial challenge, which should employ energy integration and benefit from the extraction of the maximum thermodynamic potential of the resources consumed.

Assesment of Thermodynamic Irreversibility in a Micro-Scale Viscous Dissipative Circular Couette Flow

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
We investigate the effect of viscous dissipation on the thermal transport characteristics of heat and its consequence in terms of the entropy-generation rate in a circular Couette flow.

Discipline in Thermodynamics

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Thermodynamics is a discipline, with unambiguous concepts, words, laws and usefulness. Today it is in danger of becoming a Tower of Babel. Its key words are being pasted brazenly on new concepts, to promote them with no respect for their proper meaning ...

Bluff your way in the second law of thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The aim of this article is to analyze the relation between the second law of thermodynamics and the so-called arrow of time. For this purpose, a number of different aspects in this arrow of time are distinguished, in particular those of time-(a)symmetry ...

Classical Scalar Fields and the Generalized Second Law [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
It has been shown that classical non-minimally coupled scalar fields can violate all of the standard energy conditions in general relativity. Violations of the null and averaged null energy conditions obtainable with such fields have been suggested as ...
