Heat exchangers are thermal systems which are used extensively, have a major role in
energy conservation aspect and preventing global warming. This paper is based on reviews …

This book presents the diverse and rapidly expanding field of Entropy Generation
Minimization (EGM), the method of thermodynamic optimization of real devices. The …

Entropy generation minimization (finite time thermodynamics, or thermodynamic
optimization) is the method that combines into simple models the most basic concepts of …

Transition between nucleate and film boiling potentially causes dramatic temperature
changes during fluxcontrolled operations, which may lead to catastrophic equipment …

In this paper, heat transfer enhancement in a parabolic trough receiver using wall-detached
twisted tape inserts was numerically investigated. The resulting heat transfer, fluid friction …

On the basis of the existing performance evaluation criteria analysis and four assumptions, a
performance evaluation plot has been proposed in this paper. This plot takes the ratios of …

This paper features a broad discussion on the application of enhanced heat transfer
surfaces to compact heat exchangers. The motivation for heat transfer enhancement is …

This paper presents second-law based performance evaluation criteria to evaluate the
performance of heat exchangers. First, the need for the systematic design of heat …

The present work is focused on enhancing the overall thermo-hydraulic performance of a
previously proposed C-shaped printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHEs) using Machine …

The present paper reports on heat transfer enhancement and the corresponding pressure
drop over a flat surface equipped with square cross-sectional perforated pin fins in a …
