“…In [ 30 ], the authors propose a method for the analysis of the entropy generation rate in the design of single-phase thermal processes, heat storage systems or various thermal cycles. The method proposed by Bejan [ 30 ] has been successfully used by other authors to perform a thermodynamic assessment of thermal processes during single-phase flows [ 31 , 32 ], multi-phase flows [ 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ], heat exchange involving non-Newtonian fluids [ 32 , 39 , 40 ] and design of thermal systems and exchangers [ 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ].…”
