Numerical study of heat and mass transfer in a desalination system [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 In today’s world the demand for freshwater, to meet the needs of human activities is growing exponentially. As a result, manufacturers are continuing to make progress in the design and production of efficient desalination and cooling units to optimize ...

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2022 Molten chloride mixtures such as MgCl2–KCl–NaCl are potential thermal energy storage (TES) materials and heat transfer fluids (HTFs) for next-generation concentrating solar power (CSP) systems due to their high operation temperatures (>700°C) and low ...

Thermodynamics as Control Theory [PDF]
, 2013 I explore the reduction of thermodynamics to statistical mechanics by treating the former as a control theory: a theory of which transitions between states can be induced on a system (assumed to obey some known underlying dynamics) by means of operations

Thermodynamic uncertainty relations for steady-state thermodynamics
Physical Review E, 2023 A system can be driven out of equilibrium by both time-dependent and nonconservative forces, which gives rise to a decomposition of the dissipation into two non-negative components, called the excess and housekeeping entropy productions. We derive thermodynamic uncertainty relations for the excess and housekeeping entropy. These can be used as tools to

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2021 National energy models provide decarbonization strategies. Most national energy models focus on costs and greenhouse gas emissions only. However, this focus carries the risk that burdens shift to other environmental impacts.

Entropy, 2021 Multiscale thermodynamics is a theory of the relations among the levels of investigation of complex systems. It includes the classical equilibrium thermodynamics as a special case, but it is applicable to both static and time evolving processes in externally and internally driven macroscopic systems that are far from equilibrium and are investigated at

, 2011 It is often claimed, or hoped, that some temporal asymmetries are explained by the thermodynamic asymmetry in time. Thermodynamics, the macroscopic physics of pressure, temperature, volume, and so on, describes many temporally asymmetric processes.

Entropy, 2022 The use of organic Rankine cycles (ORCs) is a viable solution for the recovery of waste heat. For an air separation unit (ASU) with a production of V˙O2=58300mN3/h operating in Romania, the value of utilization of the heat transferred to the cooling ...

Bluff your Way in the Second Law of Thermodynamics [PDF]
, 2001 The aim of this article is to analyse 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 ...

Endoreversible models for the thermodynamics of computing [PDF]
, 2020 Landauer's principle says that, in principle, a computation can be performed without consumption of work, provided no information is erased during the computational process.
