Exergy and Irreversibility Analysis in Non-Equilibrium Thermal Porous Rectangular Channel
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThis work deals with laminar forced convection in a rectangular channel through a non-equilibrium thermal porous medium. The thermodynamic aspects of the flow, including the entropy generation rate, irreversibility, and exergy, are well investigated.
This work is interesting and can be recommended.
Some suggestions:
- Please merge the summary into one paragraph.
- Line 38, please add reference for "Gouy-Stodola theory" or explain more detial for it.
- You have summarized two methods of thermal contaction, but you have not provided a comparative discussion. Simply listing them is not sufficient.
- In text, the author's family name should present before reference number.
- After the introduction of the existing research, the authors should give a conclusion about which method is superior, and then you adopt this method in your work. It can be seen that the authors need to significantly revise the introduction to improve the level of commentary and logic of the existing results.
- What is the difference between mathematical models and other people's models?
- Line 101, in your model, how to character the "a homogeneous and isotropic" of porous media.
- In the validation section, you show the validity of your model compared to other methods of Hadim et al. Please present more detal about this work.
