Entropy Generation and Optimization of Laminar Forced Convection Air Cooling in a Horizontal Channel Containing Heated Sources

A forced convection air-cooling of two identical heat sources mounted in a horizontal channel is numerically studied. Four effects of Reynolds number, separation distance, height and width of the components on the flow structure and heat transfer inside the channel have been examined. The entropy ge...
