Abstract

An expression for the volumetric rate of entropy generation has been derived and displayed graphically to analyze the convection heat transfer for a fully established flow in a rectangular packed duct with L/H=16 and H/W=0.125. The top and bottom walls of the duct are heated by constant, asymmetric heat fluxes, while the other walls are insulated that is the L2 thermal boundary conditions. Entropy generation maps reveal the regions where excessive entropy generation occurs due to physical and geometric parameters for a specified task within the system.
