Permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) are one of the innovative technologies widely accepted
as an alternative to the 'pump and treat'(P&T) for sustainable in situ remediation of …

The constructal law accounts for the universal phenomenon of generation and evolution of
design (configuration, shape, structure, pattern, rhythm). This phenomenon is observed …

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 …

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 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 …

We investigated the optimum composition of permeable reactive barrier (PRB) materials for
remediating groundwater heavily contaminated by landfill leachate, in column tests using …

The constructal law was postulated in 1996 as the law of physics that accounts for the
phenomenon of time evolution of configuration in all flow systems that have the freedom to …

This is a review of the concepts of purpose, direction, and objective in the discipline of
thermodynamics, which is a pillar of physics, natural sciences, life science, and engineering …

Many in-situ groundwater remediation technologies have been developed, among which the
permeable reactive barrier (PRB) technology has emerged as an efficient, cost-effective and …

A numerical study was performed in the present work about an Overtopping Device Wave
Energy Converter (OTD-WEC) with one and two ramps incorporated in a real breakwater …
