Reply and closure to comments on “Temperature-heat diagram analysis method for heat recovery physical adsorption refrigeration cycle - Taking multi-stage cycle as an example” by M.M. Awad

The purpose of this letter is to reply to and closure the comment paper by M.M. Awad on the present authors' article that proposed the temperature-heat (T-Q) diagram methodology for adsorption refrigeration cycle. Dr. Awad did not comment on any technical content of the commented article. The comments mainly enumerated opposing views on entransy. In this letter, the present authors reiterated the theoretical basis of T-Q diagram, and gave rebuttals to Dr. Awad's comments.
