Considering the increasing gap between energy demand and clean energy supply
availability, there is a strong need to impart novel design structures to effectively utilize the …

This paper examines the degree of irreversibility, or thermodynamic nonideality, in a tree-
shaped flow network with a constant wall heat flux. The tree network is a dichotomic and …

Fluid flow in tree-shaped networks plays an important role in both natural and engineered
systems. This paper focuses on laminar flows of Newtonian and non-Newtonian power law …

Our focus is space-filling networks to deliver and distribute flows. Here we report an
analytical analysis of optimal branching networks of tubes for both fluid flow and heat …

The power and speed of computers processors have grown significantly, implying that a big
amount of heat must be removed for better performance. A computational thermo …

Building upon the efficient transport capabilities observed in the fractal tree-like convergent
structures found in nature, this paper numerically studies the transport process of the …

Flow networks with dendritic tube organization are common in natural systems. Although the
Hess-Murray law has been extensively reported in the literature, there have also been …

Losses due to irreversible processes accompanying the heat and fluid flows. This paper
addresses the fundamental question of what the shape of parent and offspring branches …

Biological and engineering studies of Hess‐Murray's law are focused on assemblies of
tubes with impermeable walls. Blood vessels and airways have permeable walls to allow the …

Solar energy is a plentiful and renewable resource; therefore, its use through clean energy
technologies is necessary to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and their consequent …
