Journal ArticleDOI

Generation of entropy in micro thermofluidic and thermochemical energy systems-A critical review

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the mechanisms of entropy generation rate in these micro energy systems and identified the possible future avenues of research in this field, including the unexplored and less investigated areas such as second law analysis of micro porous systems using pore-scale modeling and entropy generation rates of airflow through microchannels with inserts.
Journal ArticleDOI

A thermodynamic analysis of forced convection through porous media using pore scale modeling

TL;DR: In this paper, the entropy generation in porous media is analyzed from a thermodynamic perspective, with a particular focus on the entropy generated inside the porous media, using a pore scale modeling approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of Al2O3-water nanofluid on the heat transfer and entropy generation of laminar forced convection through isotropic porous media

TL;DR: Forced convection of Al 2 O 3 -water nanofluid through isotropic porous media consisting of two arrangements of square pillars, i.e., staggered and in-line, were investigated from the perspective of the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluid flow, heat transfer and entropy generation analyses of turbulent forced convection through isotropic porous media using RANS models

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of turbulence on heat transfer and entropy generation in isotropic porous media, and concluded that the longitudinal elliptical and transverse elliptical cross-sectional configurations can simultaneously achieve high heat transfer efficiency and low entropy generation rate.
