Topic: Improving the energy efficiency of thermal machines is a critical challenge to address issues related to energy consumption and environmental protection. To maximize efficiency, precise modeling of heat transfer is essential. Such modeling must account for all modes of heat transfer—conduction, convection, and radiation—while incorporating thermophysical  parameters such as thermal diffusivity and geometric characteristics like the length, height, and depth of components.
Moreover, it is vital to consider the properties of the working fluid, including its velocity, temperature, and pressure, along with phenomena such as compressibility and turbulence, also play a key role in understanding and optimizing the energy and exergy performance of industrial systems. By integrating all these factors, it becomes possible to develop more efficient and environmentally friendly thermal machines.
