Reply to “Letter to the editor on 'Temperature-heat diagram analysis method for heat recovery physical adsorption refrigeration cycle - Taking multi-stage cycle as an example'” by A. Bejan

This letter is intended to reply to the Letter to the Editor by A. Bejan and closure the discussion on the authors' published article that proposed the temperature-heat (T-Q) diagram methodology for adsorption refrigeration. Dr. Bejan asserted his ownership of the “origin” of this method and reaffirmed the “falsehood” of entransy in his letter. In this reply, the authors give answers and rebuttals to Dr. Bejan's comments and make some points about the academic debate on entransy.
