Minimization of Entropy Generation Rate in Hydrogen Iodide Decomposition Reactor Heated by High-Temperature Helium

Comparison of entropy generation minimization principle and entransy theory in optimal design of thermal systems

In this study, the relationship among the concepts of entropy generation rate, entransy theory, and generalized thermal resistance to the optimal design of thermal systems is discussed. The equations of entropy and entransy rates are compared and their implications for optimization of conductive heat transfer are analyzed. The theoretical analyses show that based on entropy generation minimizat...

Entropy Generation of Double Diffusive Natural Convection in a Three Dimensional Differentially Heated Enclosure

Entropy generation of double diffusive natural convection in a three dimensional differentially heated enclosure has been performed numerically. Vertical walls of enclosure are heated differentially and remaining walls are adiabatic. The obtained results were presented via iso-concentration, iso-temperatures, velocity vector projection, particle trajectories, velocity profiles, iso-entropy, loc...

High Sample Rate Optically Pumped Helium Magnetometer

Optically pumped helium magnetometers are important instruments whichhave many applications in military, mass spectroscopy and space applications. In thispaper, the working principles of helium magnetometers have been explained. There isalso an introduction of a new method for finding the resonant frequency, which hasadvantages to the typical method such as more sample r...

The Rate of Oxidation of Iodide Ion by Hydrogen Peroxide

T HE practice of chemistry is concerned very largely with the carrying out of chemical reactions whereby new substances are produced from old. The substances entering into the reaction are'known as reagents, and the substances produced as products. One of the factors in chemical reactions which is subject to human control and manipulation is summarized in the Law of Mass Action. This law, in si...
