An experimental and numerical model to determine the exergy balance based on flow
availability and availability transfer in the process of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)/air
combustion in mesoscale gas turbine combustor is developed to elucidate the second law
efficiency and total thermodynamic irreversibility. In terms of developing an energy and
exergy-efficient combustor design, the present work highlights the influence of vortex
shedding and recirculation in the volumetric entropy production and the exergy efficiency. It …
