The uniformity principle of temperature difference field is a phenomenological principle,which has not been theoretically proved.For one-dimensional two-and three-stream heat exchangers,the extremum principle of entransy dissipation was used to optimize the heat transfer process by variational calculus.It was indicated that the temperature difference field between the hot and cold fluids should be completely uniform if the entransy dissipation reached a minimum for a given heat duty,or if the heat duty reached a maximum for a given entransy dissipation.So,the uniformity principle of temperature difference field of heat exchangers was primarily proved.
