Constructal theory has been widely used in performance optimizations of various problems.
Among these problems, engineering problem is a hot topic for constructal theory. The …

This review covers two aspects of “evolution” in thermodynamics. First, with the constructal
law, thermodynamics is becoming the domain of physics that accounts for the phenomenon …

This is a review of the theoretical and applied progress made based on the Constructal law
of design and evolution in nature, with emphasis on the last decade. The Constructal law is …

A heat dissipation model of a rectangular porous fin is established based on constructal
theory. First, the constructal design of rectangular porous fin is conducted by selecting a …

A marine boiler model composed of the major heat transfer components of evaporator,
superheater and economizer is built in this paper. Constructal design for the marine boiler is …

Heat conduction models with three non-uniform heat generation conditions in a rectangular
heat generation area (RHGA) are set up in this paper. Under given areas of the irregular …

This article addresses the main research areas identified in the call for contributions to this
special issue. With examples from published articles and books, the present article shows …

A marine condenser with exhausted steam as the working fluid is researched in this paper.
Constructal designs of the condenser are numerically conducted based on single and multi …

A fan-shaped high thermal conductivity path (FSHTCP) model in a square heat generation
body (SHGB) is built in this paper. For the given areas of the FSHTCP and SHGB, the …

Here, I review the physics meaning of optimization, knowledge and design evolution, and
why these concepts and human activities are profoundly useful for human life. A law of …
