In order to achieve the best performance of a thermal system, two major analyses must be carried out on system: energy and entropy generation. The scenario is mechanism in which system has minimum generation highest Nu number. this regard, we investigated number fluid flow through tubes various cross-sections, namely circular tubes, square channels, rectangular ducts. Additionally, addition nan...

Entropy-Stable (ES) schemes, specifically those built from [Tadmor \textit{Math. Comput.} 49 (1987) 91], have been gaining interest over the past decade, especially in context of under-resolved simulations compressible turbulent flows using high-order methods. These schemes are attractive because they can provide stability a global and nonlinear sense (consistency with thermodynamics). However,...

Cloud computing hosts require a good source of cryptographically strong random numbers. Most of the standard security practices are based on assumptions that hold true for physical machines, but don’t translate immediately into the domain of virtualized machines. It is imperative to reconsider the well accepted security practices that were built around physical machines, and whether blind appli...

This paper outlines a science-based explanation of damage and reliability of critical components and structures within the second law of thermodynamics. The approach relies on the fundamentals of irreversible thermodynamics, specifically the concept of entropy generation as an index of degradation and damage in materials. All damage mechanisms share a common feature, namely energy dissipation. ...
