Abstract Industrial processes optimization for higher energy efficiency may be effectively carried out based on the thermodynamic approach of entropy
generation minimization (EGM). This approach provides the key insights on how the available energy (exergy) is being destroyed during the process
and the ways to minimize its destruction. In this study, EGM approach is implemented for the analysis of optimal thermal mixing and temperature
uniformity due to natural convection in quadrantal cavity filled with porous medium for the material processing applications or for cooling of electrical
equipments. Effect of the permeability of the porous medium and… More >
