Abstract

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions of turbulent convective heat transfer problems based on the mass, momentum and energy conservation principle provide all information to calculate the entropy production rate in such a transfer process. It can be determined in the post processing phase of a CFD calculation. Two methods are discussed in detail which can provide the information about the entropy production with different degrees of accuracy.
