Connections between entropy generation, condenser ratio, and heat exchanger effectiveness, as well as relations implied by them are shown. Theoretical considerations allowed to determine limits of individual parameters which describe the condenser operation. Various relations for average temperature of the cold fluid were compared. All the proposed relations were verified against data obtained using a simulator and actual measurement data from a 200 MW unit condenser. Based on data from a simulator it was examined how the sum of entropy rates, steam condenser effectiveness, terminal temperature difference and condenser ratio vary with the change in the inlet cooling water temperature, mass flow rate of steam and the cooling water mass flow rate.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Entropy generation in a condenser and related correlations}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/94737/PDF/02_paper.pdf}, doi={10.1515/aoter-2015-0013}, keywords={steam condenser, entropy generation}, }
