... reduces as the pond size increases. Further, the optimal insulation thickness that eradicates all wall energy loss is larger when calculated from a spatially 1D model, as opposed to when radial temperature gradients are given consideration. The 2D model reveals a larger entropy generation than...

... developing region. It is theoretically shown that Po is a direct measure of entropy generation due to fluid friction, which explains its numerically obtained linear relation with S ˙ ¯ g e n , f r ′ . It is found that in hydrodynamically developing region, both Po and S ˙ ¯ g e n , f r ′ , decrease...
