Entropy Generation Minimization
The Method of Thermodynamic Optimization of Finite-Size Systems and Finite-Time Processes
About this book
This book presents the diverse and rapidly expanding field of Entropy Generation Minimization (EGM), the method of thermodynamic optimization of real devices. The underlying principles of the EGM method - also referred to as "thermodynamic optimization, " "thermodynamic design, " and "finite time thermodynamics" - are thoroughly discussed, and the me
