ECP can be classified as two-, three- and four-mass-reservoir devices. The usual performance indicators for ECPs are energy pumping rate (EPR) and coefficient of performance (COP). Energy-based ecological function objective (EFO) is introduced to performance optimization of three-reservoir ECP. Optimization relationships between EFO and COP with linear and diffusive mass transfer laws (MTLs) are deduced. Numerical examples are provided, and influences of cycle parameters and MTLs on optimal EFO performances are analyzed. For linear MTL, compared performances at maximum EFO point and point where dimensionless EPR is 0.016, COP increases 14.4% and entropy generation rate (EGR) drops 52% with only 30% loss of EPR. For diffusive MTL, compared performances at maximum dimensionless EFO point and point where dimensionless EPR is 0.01, COP increases 11.3% and EGR drops 46.9% with only 30% loss of EPR. It demonstrates that EFO is a trade-off between EPR and dissipation of EPR, which is beneficial to utilize energy effectively. With the same chemical potentials of three reservoirs, the maximum dimensionless EFO and the corresponding COP with linear MTL are bigger than those with diffusive MTL.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"48 1","pages":"179 - 194"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42777760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Similarly, in studies of flow-induced crystallization in polymers, a two-phase model is often invoked in which a soft viscoelastic component is coupled with a rigid semi-crystalline phase providing stiffness. In the present work, we use the framework of non-equilibrium thermodynamics (NET) to develop stress-strain relationships for such two-phase systems characterized by a viscoelastic and an elastic component by making use of two conformation tensors: the first describes the microstructure of the viscoelastic phase while the second is related to the elastic Finger strain tensor quantifying the deformation of the elastic phase due to strain and is responsible for strain-hardening. The final transport equations are formulated in the context of the generalized bracket formalism of NET and can describe the rheological behavior and mechanical response of a large variety of soft materials ranging from rubbers to artificial tissues.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"48 1","pages":"91 - 105"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46637219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adipose tissue deposition and other elements of atherosclerosis generate the uncommon artery disease known as arterial stenosis. It limits blood flow and raises the risk of heart disease. Using the Casson model, it is feasible to shed light on the peristaltic blood flow of copper nanoparticles over an overlapping stenotic artery. Nothing is known about the study of heat sink/source, buoyancy and Lorent force, and volume fraction because the focus is on the dynamics of blood carrying minute copper particles through an overlapping stenotic artery. When the Lorentz force is significant, the transport mentioned above was evaluated utilizing stenosis approximations to examine the stream function, wall shear stress, Nusselt number, and flow resistance distribution. In addition, temperature solutions were identified analytically, whereas a perturbation approach acquired velocity solutions. Temperature distribution and velocity are greater in stenosed arteries than in unstenosed arteries. Furthermore, extreme velocity and temperature rise as it reaches the core of the artery and falls as one approaches the wall. When the heat source parameter values increase due to an improvement in the fluid’s thermal state, the temperature distribution increases.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"48 1","pages":"159 - 178"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47004450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The momentum and temperature field equations are developed on the bases of momentum conservation law and Fourier’s principle of heat transfer in conjunction with Buongiorno’s model of nanofluids. Numerical investigations on a viscoelastic Oldroyd-B fluid flowing in horizontal, converging, and diverging channel have been carried out to collect point-by-point stress data i.e., the shear stresses and flow field). The constitutive model of a viscoelastic fluid adopting the Oldroyd-B model is considered to characterize the rheological behavior of the fluid. The flow equations are changed to a non-linear system and solved numerically using the Runge–Kutta Butcher method via MATLAB code. Numerous emerging flow parameters are probed for their effects on flow and heat transfer characteristics using extensive numerical computing. In converging flow, increasing the Reynolds number and channel angle leads to an increase in velocity distribution, indicating that backflow is eliminated. However, the velocity decreases as the retardation parameter increases significantly. Furthermore, the Oldroyd-B nano liquid literature is elevated by the Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameter, while for the concentration of the nanoparticles the behavior is contrary. The velocity field of an Oldroyd-B fluid is compared with the velocity fields for viscous fluids, which are then traced out as limiting instances. In comparison, the results for polymer solutions obtained in this analysis are compared with a Newtonian fluid.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"48 1","pages":"75 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2022-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48192118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nonetheless, cooling mechanism of the fluidic-driven GMC is complicated, as the displacer motion inside the displacer cylinder is simultaneously controlled by the pressure difference between drive chamber and compression/expansion chamber. Different paths of displacer can be traced inside the displacer cylinder for different drive-chamber discharging process, hence, pressure–volume power of compression and expansion chambers, and refrigeration power changes. A theoretical study is conducted in present paper to visualize the influence of drive-chamber discharging process on the thermodynamic characteristics of fluidic-driven GMC for the first time. Thermodynamic cycles are drawn at the expansion chamber of the fluidic-driven GMC for different values of drive-chamber discharging process for two types of valve timing arrangements. Energy and work loss behaviors in different components of the GMC are also analysed. Adequate experimental investigations have also been carried out on a fluidic-driven displacer type GMC to verify the simulation results.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"48 1","pages":"1 - 23"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47751819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
