Entropy generation analysis in an evaporative air-cooled heat exchanger

In the present study, air-side entropy generation rate for an evaporative air-cooled heat exchanger has been investigated using thermodynamic second-law analysis. For this purpose, entropy generations due to heat transfer, friction loss and evaporation were taken into consideration. From the results...
