Optimal Design of a Dual-Pressure Steam Turbine for Rankine Cycle Based on Constructal Theory

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
A one-dimensional dual-pressure steam turbine (ST) model for the marine Rankine cycle is built in this paper. Based on constructal theory, the optimal design of the dual-pressure ST is performed with a fixed total volume of the high- and low-pressure STs.

Construction for Fashion Design [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Construction is the foundation of fashion design; it takes passion and great skill to turn a two-dimensional drawing into a successful garment. Construction for Fashion Design guides readers through the process, teaching the theory, practical skills and techniques that they need to succeed.

Constructal design of a nanofluid cooling channel with sidewall ribs and cavities in a rectangular heat generation body

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2023
The heat dissipation optimization of electronic devices with cooling channels is a hot research issue. A nanofluid cooling channel (CCL) model with sidewall ribs and cavities in a rectangular heat generation body is established.

Constructal theory of global circulation and climate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The constructal law states that every flow system evolves in time so that it develops the flow architecture that maximizes flow access under the constraints posed to the flow.

First and second law analysis applied to building envelope: A theoretical approach on the potentiality of Bejan’s theory

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2015
Especially in the last decade, efforts have been made in developing the sustainable building assessment tools, which are usually performed based on fundamentals of the First Law of Thermodynamics.

Constructal design: A survey

open access: yesComputer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2022
This paper gives a review of the new Bejan's constructal theory and its various applications to design and optimization. According to Bejan, the objective and constraints principle used in engineering is the same mechanism from which the geometry in ...

Dendritic design as an archetype for growth patterns in Nature: fractal and constructal views [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The occurrence of configuration (design, shape, structure, rhythm) is a universal phenomenon that occurs in every flow system. Dendritic configuration (or tree-shaped configurations) is ubiquitous in nature and likely to arise in both animate and ...

Designing for Automated Construction [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction (IAARC), 1997
The majority of automated construction research and development has been bottom-up, from the construction/engineering side rather than top-down from the design end. Section 2 of this paper looks at precedents in automated construction research and identifies an apparent gap in design related themes.

Investigation on the Association of Differential Evolution and Constructal Design for Geometric Optimization of Double Y-Shaped Cooling Cavities Inserted into Walls with Heat Generation

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
In the constructal design method, the comprehension of the effect of design on the system performance is crucial to understanding the contributions of the degrees of freedom or constraints in the system evolution in direction of optimal configurations ...
