Closure to 'Discussion of 'Entransy is Now Clear'' (2014, ASME J. Heat Transfer, 136(9), p. 095502)

摘要

Entransy is a newly proposed concept for the analysis and optimization of heat transfer processes, and we do welcome any discussions, comments, and even objections on this topic from our counterparts including Awad's paper entitled, "Entransy is Now Clear." However, we do not accept the conclusions that "entransy is improper and not needed" because there are misread-ings and incorrect interpretations in the paper.
