Sentence examples for minimum total entropy from inspiring English sources

To deliver the minimum total entropy generation rate, optimum values for some parameters are also found.

Most importantly, it is shown that for given exothermicities in the system there exist optimal wall and porous insert thicknesses that result in the maximum Nu and minimum total entropy generation.

Considering the minimum total entropy generation as objective function, optimum parameters of the HRSG unit are derived by using the genetic algorithm method under the fixed total volume condition.

The rotation of the helical tube in streamwise (co-rotation) or counter streamwise (counter-rotation) direction leads to a decrease in Ψh and a increase in Ψf which complicates the situation that whether or where the minimum of total entropy generation exists is dependent on whether Ψ is dominated by Ψh or Ψf or somewhere in between.

Specifically, by changing the specific speed, we have found that there is a minimum value of total entropy increase throughout the passages.

Another aspect of increasing Dean number is that intensified momentum transfer in the radial direction also raises the entropy generation from frictional pressure drop – Ψf, the superposed effect of which yields a decreasing increasing trend of the total entropy generation-Ψ, a local minimum located in between.

The efficiency and the accuracy of the proposed method are demonstrated through two illustrative examples that include three objectives, namely minimum total annual cost, minimum weight and minimum number of entropy generation units.

The second law says that the total entropy (system plus surroundings) always increases.

An increase of total entropy generation will thus be obtained.

Total entropy generation increases with increasing the magnetic force number.

The first and second laws of thermodynamics state that "the total energy content of the universe is constant, and the total entropy is continually increasing".
