摘要
The entropy generation analysis is an approach to optimize the performance of different thermal systems by investigating the related irreversibilities of the system. This paper provides a concise review of the entropy generation analysis performed for different solar thermal energy systems including solar collectors, solar heaters, solar heat exchangers, and solar stills. The mathematical formulation and the equations for calculating the entropy generation are briefly presented. Moreover, main passive techniques including the usage of nanofluids, porous materials, and inserts which are used to improve the efficiency of different solar systems are discussed. It is shown that using entropy generation minimization method is an efficient tool to find the optimal design of solar systems. The current review aims to motivate researchers in the field of solar energy for using entropy generation analysis to reduce the lost work and consequently improving the system performance.
