In this study, the analysis of inherent irreversibility of chemical reactive third-grade poiseuille flow of a variable viscosity with convective cooling is investigated. The dissipative heat in a reactive exothermic chemical moves over liquid in an irreversible way and the entropy is produced unceasingly in the system within the fixed walls. The heat convective exchange with the surrounding tem...

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...

in this paper, convection heat transfer of al2o3-water nanofluid turbulent flow through internally ribbed tubes with different rib shapes (rectangular, trapezoidal and semi-circular) is numerically investigated. for each rib shape, the optimum geometric ratio and volume fraction were calculated using entropy generation minimization technique. the governing equations in steady state and axisymme...

Isothermal quantum hydrodynamic equations of order O(~) using the quantum entropy minimization method recently developed by Degond and Ringhofer are derived. The equations have the form of the usual quantum hydrodynamic model including a correction term of order O(~) which involves the vorticity. If the initial vorticity is of order O(~), the standard model is obtained up to order O(~). The der...

Kullback-Leibler relative-entropy, in cases involving distributions resulting from relative-entropy minimization, has a celebrated property reminiscent of squared Euclidean distance: it satisfies an analogue of the Pythagoras’ theorem. And hence, this property is referred to as Pythagoras’ theorem of relative-entropy minimization or triangle equality and plays a fundamental role in geometrical ...

There are many techniques of image enhancement. Their parameters are traditionally tuned by maximization of SNR criterion, which is unfortunately based on the knowledge of an ideal image. Our approach is based on Hartley entropy, its estimation, and differentiation. Resulting gradient of entropy is estimated without knowledge of ideal images, and it is a subject of minimization. Both SNR maximi...

We study minimization of a parametric family of relative entropies, termed relative α-entropies (denoted Iα(P,Q)). These arise as redundancies under mismatched compression when cumulants of compressed lengths are considered instead of expected compressed lengths. These parametric relative entropies are a generalization of the usual relative entropy (KullbackLeibler divergence). Just like relati...

Based on the square heat-generation body (HGB) with “arrow-shaped” high-thermal-conductivity channel (HTCC) model established in previous literature, we performed multi-objective optimization (MOO) maximum temperature difference (MTD) minimization and entropy-generation rate (EGR) as objectives for its performance. Pareto frontiers optimal set were obtained based NSGA-II. TOPSIS, LINMAP, Shanno...
