Abstract: A simple energy conservation model, based on the second law of thermodynamics, is developed for heat transfer processes, and this model is employed to optimize energy source to task temperatures. The model not only includes second law considerations of energy source to task but also includes second law effects of heat exchanger material mining, refining, and fabrication. Although not intended as a guide to heat exchanger design, the model provides a simple illustration of second law considerations in energy conservation.
