Non-Equilibrium Entropy Pathways in Complex Fluids: A New Framework for Thermodynamic Irreversibility
Abstract: When a system is driven, sheared, stretched, heated, or pressurized under varying thermodynamic gradients and kept away from equilibrium, ultra-microscopic rearrangements begin to occur, indicating continuous energy dissipation. Along these energy pathways, the microstructures of complex fluids undergo multiple stages of reforming and rearrangement. In complex fluids composed of identical compounds (chemically identical species), these interactions play a supportive role and reduce the overall entropy of the system. However, when …

CFD Analysis of Earth Heat Exchanger with Air as a Cooling Medium
Abstract: An earth air tube heat exchanger (EATHE) uses the thermal energy of the ground for the air cooling in summer and air heating in winter due to the temperature difference between the air and underground surface. With the help of EATHE we can reduce the energy consumption required for space heating or cooling. However, for determining the surface heat convection, due to lack of available methods it is difficult to …
