One of the goals of sustainable development is higher fuel efficiency at lower product cost for systems that use or produce power and heat. This paper presents a second-law-based methodology that aims at this goal. The methodology allows the intensive analysis of design concepts in order to reveal o

This paper sets the foundation of the optimal design of most systems that use or produce heat and/or power including desalination. The separation process of the desalination technologies by membranes and by distillation is considered as an example for the purpose of clarity and for the special impor
