Abstract
Abstract For the given initial finite high-temperature heat reservoir temperature, continuous Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equations are established to obtain optimal finite high-temperature heat reservoir temperature for minimum power consumption of multistage Carnot heat pumping system with generalized convective heat transfer law [q ∝ (ΔT) m ]. Analytical expression of optimal heat reservoir temperature with Newtonian heat transfer law (m = 1) is obtained based on generalized optimization results for minimum power consumption. For other heat transfer laws (m ≠ 1), numerical solutions for minimum power consumption are provided. Optimization results for multistage Carnot heat pumps are compared with maximum power output solutions of multistage irreversible Carnot heat engines.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics serves as an international publication organ for new ideas, insights and results on non-equilibrium phenomena in science, engineering and related natural systems. The central aim of the journal is to provide a bridge between science and engineering and to promote scientific exchange on a) newly observed non-equilibrium phenomena, b) analytic or numeric modeling for their interpretation, c) vanguard methods to describe non-equilibrium phenomena.
Contributions should – among others – present novel approaches to analyzing, modeling and optimizing processes of engineering relevance such as transport processes of mass, momentum and energy, separation of fluid phases, reproduction of living cells, or energy conversion. The journal is particularly interested in contributions which add to the basic understanding of non-equilibrium phenomena in science and engineering, with systems of interest ranging from the macro- to the nano-level.
The Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics has recently expanded its scope to place new emphasis on theoretical and experimental investigations of non-equilibrium phenomena in thermophysical, chemical, biochemical and abstract model systems of engineering relevance. We are therefore pleased to invite submissions which present newly observed non-equilibrium phenomena, analytic or fuzzy models for their interpretation, or new methods for their description.
