Page 17 - Q/7~at that location, and the direction of entropy transfer is the same as the direction of heat transfer. To determine the rate of total entropy generation during this heat transfer process, we extend the system to include the regions on both sides of the wall that experience a temperature change. Then one side of the system boundary becomes room temperature while the other side becomes the temperature of the outdoors.
Page v - ... the environment. Exergy analysis is a method that uses the conservation of mass and conservation of energy principles together with the SLT for the design and analysis of refrigeration systems and applications. The exergy method can be suitable for furthering the goal of more efficient energy-resource use, for it enables the locations, types, and true magnitudes of wastes and losses to be determined. Therefore, exergy analysis can...
