Entropy transport for quasi-one-dimensional flow

Research Area: Aerodynamics & Internal Flow

This research introduces a new way to study how disorder, or entropy, builds up in gases flowing through tubes, engines, and other channels where factors like heat, friction, and shape changes are involved. By identifying and measuring the sources of entropy in these flows, the study provides insights that can improve the efficiency of systems ranging from power plants to car engines. These findings help engineers understand where energy is lost, which can lead to better designs for more efficient and sustainable technologies.
