SYSTEM SYNTHESIS TO MEET AN EXERGY LOSS TARGET VALUE

摘要

For synthesizing components such as one or more of processors, memories, fans, power supplies, video cards, casings, and motherboards to design a personal computing apparatus, a printing apparatus, or a personal digital assistant meeting a minimum exergy loss target value among a plurality of component designs, one or more candidate sets of components are synthesized (204), an exergy loss value for each of the one or more candidate sets of components is calculated (206), it is determined (210) whether at least one of the candidate set of components meets the exergy loss target value, and at least one candidate set of components determined to meet the exergy loss target value is identified (212) as the set of components for use in the design of the personal computing apparatus, the printing apparatus, or the personal digital assistant.
