The currency should also be specified with respect to a reference year, for example, US dollars inflation-adjusted to 2013. This facilitates the straightforward comparison of different works, for example, with a conversion factor 2.2 [USD2013]/[GBP1996] to compare Refs. [1,7].

In relating T1 and T2 to TH and TC, this equation still makes the assumption of approximately equal heat flows through both heat exchangers, introducing relative errors of order ηTE [6].
