Design with Constructal Theory
Journal Article · September 9, 2008 This book shows how you can use the method of constructal theory to design human-made systems in order to reduce trial and error and increase the system performance. ... CiteConstructal tree-shaped flow structures
Journal Article Applied Thermal Engineering · March 1, 2007 This paper is an introduction to a new trend in the conceptual design of energy systems: the generation of flow configuration based on the "constructal" principle that the global performance is maximized by balancing and arranging the various flow resistan ... Full text CiteThe single-valued diffusion coefficient for ionic diffusion through porous media
Journal Article Journal of Applied Physics · January 15, 2007 The current literature on ionic diffusion through porous media teaches that the diffusion coefficient is a complicated function depending on concentration, concentration gradient, and electrical potential gradient. This paper documents how natural ... Full text CiteEducation, Training & Certifications
