The historical background, research development, and the state-of-the-art of finite time
thermodynamic theory and applications are reviewed from the point of view of both physics …

The cornerstone of finite‐time thermodynamics is all about the price of haste and how to
minimize it. Reversible processes may be ultimately efficient, but they are unrealistically …

The irreversibilities originating from finite-time and finite-size constraints are important in the
real thermal system optimization. Since classical thermodynamic analysis based on …

This paper goes through a sophisticated ecological function for irreversible regenerative
closed Brayton cycle. Moreover, aforementioned irreversible regenerative closed Brayton …

We define and analyze thermodynamic limits for various traditional and work-assisted
processes of sequential development with finite rates important in engineering and biology …

Recent developments in thermodynamic optimization are reviewed by focusing on the
generation of optimal geometric form (shape, structure, topology) in flow systems. The flow …

The main component of the cost–benefit ratio of the electricity generation market relates to
the finite energy capacity of macroscopic systems to perform conversion processes. Within …

This research study mainly deals with a comprehensive thermodynamic modeling and
thermo-economic optimization of an irreversible absorption heat pump. For the optimization …

Finding a superior evaluation for an irreversible actual heat engine (irreversible Carnot heat
engine) can be mentioned as the substantial purpose of this study. To obtain this purpose …

Several significant supply-and-demand models of electricity generation have been
developed by applying optimization methodologies based on optimal decision variables …
