The entransy and entransy dissipation extremum principle proposed have opened up a new
direction for the heat transfer optimization. The emergence and development of entransy …

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 …

The emergence and development of constructal theory, which has been a new discipline
branch to research sorts of structures in nature and engineering, are reviewed. The core of …

Combining entransy theory with constructal theory in heat transfer optimization, this review
summarizes constructal entransy dissipation optimizations of 'volume-point'heat conduction …

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 …

A general optimization design method motivated by constructal theory is proposed for heat
exchanger design in the present paper. The simplified version of this design approach is …

Disc cooling problem is optimized by taking entransy dissipation rate minimization as
optimization objective. The non-dimensional mean temperature difference of the disc …

Based on constructal theory, the construct of a “disc-point” heat conduction model at micro
and nanoscales is optimized by taking maximum temperature difference minimization as …

The Constructal law has come a long way since its enunciation in two 1996 papers [1, 2],
which were followed by a book [3] and five more papers in 1997 [4–8]. In Bucharest on 15 …

Based on constructal theory, the structure of a single tubular solid oxide fuel cell (TSOFC) is
optimized in this paper. The maximum power output is chosen as the optimization objective …
