Abstract: A cycle model of a multi-stage combined heat pump system, which includes the irreversibility of finite rate heat transfer across finite temperature differences and the irreversibilities inside ...

Abstract: An externally and internally irreversible heat engine model of thermoelectric generators is used to analyze the so-called device-design parameter introduced by Özkaynak et al. The simple expression ...

Abstract: A general irreversible cycle model of a magnetic Ericsson refrigerator is established. The irreversibilities in the cycle model result from the finite-rate heat transfer between the working ...

Abstract: This communication presents the thermodynamic analysis along with a detailed parametric study of an irreversible regenerative MHD power cycle. The power output is adopted as the objective function ...
