thermodynamic optimization

Thermodynamic optimization involves designing or adjusting systems—like engines or refrigerators—to operate most efficiently by minimizing waste energy and maximizing useful work. It uses principles from thermodynamics, which study how heat, energy, and work transfer and transform. The goal is to improve performance, reduce energy loss, and make systems more sustainable and cost-effective. This process considers factors such as energy flow, temperature differences, and entropy, ensuring the system uses resources wisely and functions at its best possible level within physical limitations.
