Purpose This study aims to understand the difference between irreversibility in heat and
work transfer processes. It also aims to explain that Helmholtz or Gibbs energy does not …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to quantify the free convective heat transfer around a
vertical cylindrical electronic component equipped with vertical fins representing an …

In this paper, entropy generation due to double-diffusive natural convection inside a partly
porous enclosure under sinusoidal wall heating is numerically analyzed. The resulting …
