Finite-time thermodynamic modeling and constructal law


The project aims to develop thermodynamic models based on finite time theory, applying the constructal law and minimum entropy generation principles. These models will pinpoint irreversible processes, assess their impact on performance, and establish upper-bound efficiency limits for various systems, including system integration, multigeneration, and solar stoves. The objective is to design optimized systems for subsequent installation.
