According to a study from Algiers, Algeria, "In view of the second law of thermodynamics, the idealized process is usually so selected as to be one of minimum available energy degradation. A measure of departure from this ideal process is the entropy generation rate."
"In this paper, we shall investigate this aspect concerning an adiabatic peristaltic pump. Our analysis also exhibits the general features of a flow in a contracting tube. It is shown that the dynamics of the system can be reduced to that of a classical Hagen-Poiseuille flow with a source term in the continuity equation and an additional induced force in the momentum equation. In reference to ...
