Entropy generation minimization of combined heat and mass transfer devices

This paper details a simple procedure by which the entropy generation in simultaneous heat and mass exchange devices can be minimized. Effectiveness for these devices is defined and a new parameter, 'modified heat capacity rate ratio' is introduced. It is found that the entropy generation...
