Abstract

Highlights: These comments are increasing the awareness of the different views on the entransy concept among the journal readers. Comments are presented in particular on the paper by Xu et al. The "entransy" concept is a fake. Abstract: The purpose of this discussion is to increase the awareness of the divergent views on the entransy concept among the readers of International Journal of Refrigeration. Comments are presented in particular on the paper by Xu et al. where the authors used entransy dissipation in their analysis. Based on the view points of various independent groups of researchers worldwide, I draw the attention of readers to the reality that entransy has no physical meaning.
