Sustaining Tomorrow with Minimal Entropy Generation

This book contains the Proceedings of Eco-Friendly Engineering 2025 Symposium and Industry Summit "Sustaining Tomorrow with Minimal Entropy Generation". Engineering may be defined as improving the human living standard via the appropriate application of science and mathematics. Bettering the quality of life must encompass the lives of both current and, at least, their seven future generations. As such, eco-friendly engineering is the only way to forge ahead. Gro Harlem Brundtland put this eloquently when she proclaimed, “Sustainable development is the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Eco-Friendly Engineering 2025 is about sustaining a pleasant living standard with reduced entropy production. While all processes faithfully follow the second law of thermodynamics in producing entropy, much can be engineered in lessening the amount of entropy generated. This symposium provides a venue for experts from diverse backgrounds to exchange knowledge about their respective state-of-the-art progress to foster interdisciplinary collaboration to solidify eco-friendly engineering. Topics of interest include sustainable living, tenable development, and waste and pollution reduction and management.
