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

Constructal Optimization for Cooling a Non-Uniform Heat Generating Radial-Pattern Disc by Conduction. [PDF]
Entropy (Basel), 2018 A heat conduction model in a radial-pattern disc by considering non-uniform heat generation (NUHG) is established in this paper. A series of high conductivity channels (HCCs) are attached on the rim of the disc and extended to its center.

Indigenous Concepts of ‘Living Systems’: Aristotelian ‘Soul’ meets Constructal Theory
Ethnobiology Letters, 2015 I examine similarities among the ways of thinking concerning the natural world of Indigenous peoples of North America and Australia and two aspects of Western Science from different historical periods.

A thermo-physical analysis of the proton pump vacuolar-ATPase: the constructal approach. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2014 Pumping protons across a membrane was a critical step at the origin of life on earth, and it is still performed in all living organisms, including in human cells. Proton pumping is paramount to keep normal cells alive, e.g.

Mathematical Model of a Constructal Coanda Effect Nozzle [PDF]
Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2016 This paper analyses the ACHEON Coanda effect nozzle for aircraft propulsion, based on the dynamic equilibrium of two jet streams. The ACHEON concept, and, in particular, the HOMER nozzle, which is its main component, are presented, together with the ...

CONSTRUCTIVE NONCOMMMUTATIVE INVARIANT THEORY [PDF]
Transformation Groups, 2021 AbstractThe problem of finding generators of the subalgebra of invariants under the action of a group of automorphisms of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra on its universal enveloping algebra is reduced to finding homogeneous generators of the same group acting on the symmetric tensor algebra of the Lie algebra.

Constructive decision theory [PDF]
Journal of Economic Theory, 2013 In most contemporary approaches to decision making, a decision problem is described by a sets of states and set of outcomes, and a rich set of acts, which are functions from states to outcomes over which the decision maker (DM) has preferences. Most interesting decision problems, however, do not come with a state space and an outcome space.
