EFFECTS OF GEOMETRIC PARAMETERS ON ENTROPY GENERATION IN FIRE-TUBE STEAM BOILER’S HEAT EXCHANGER

This paper presents a parametric study on fire-tube steam boilers’ heat exchanging unit using Entropy Generation Minimization (EGM) technique. Mathematical equation that models entropy generation rate (Ṡgen), and entropy generation number (Ns), were formulated. The entropy generation number was rel...
