Thermal and mechanical design of reverting microchannels for cooling disk-shaped electronic parts using constructal theory

International journal of numerical methods for heat & fluid flow, 2019
Purpose The purpose of this study is to study the simultaneous effect of embedded reverting microchannels on the cooling performance and mechanical strength of the electronic pieces.

Constructive Order Theory

MLQ, 2001
An upper bound \(s\) of a subset \(Y\) of a poset \(P\) is called a constructive supremum of \(Y\) if there exists a function \(\psi: P\to Y\) such that \(s\leq x\Leftrightarrow \psi(x)\leq x\) for all \(x\in P\). It is proved that the axiom of choice is equivalent to the postulate that every supremum is constructive, and also to the hypothesis that ...

A Personalized Theory of Theory Construction

Personality and Social Psychology Review, 2004
This article describes my personal approach to theory construction. I liken the construction of a theory to the solution of a mathematical puzzle in which the answer is not in the back of the book. I touch on (a) the development of a theoretical perspective, (b) the identification of a specific problem, and (c) the development of a theory to address ...

Fin Shape Thermal Optimization Using Bejan's Constructal Theory

Fin Shape Thermal Optimization Using Bejan's Constructal Theory, 2011
The book contains research results obtained by applying Bejan's Constructal Theory to the study and therefore the optimization of fins, focusing on T-shaped and Y-shaped ones.

De/Constructing Theory

Journal of Management Inquiry, 2000
The purpose of this article is to understand and illustrate how the development of theories is influenced in part through dominant paradigms, in part through citation patterns, and in part through the norms of scientific writing. An example that is developed is the use of deconstruction to illustrate how institutional theory, with its interpretive ...

THEORY-CONSTRUCTION AND THEORY-TESTING

The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 1958
I wish to defend 'the dictionary view' of scientific theories against Miss Hesse's attack and to argue that she has insufficiently considered her assertion that phenomenal statements do not 'constitute a basic empirical language which is independent of all theory'.

Constructing Architectural Theory

Philosophy, 2003
Architectural theory arises from building, when the mind considers its symbolic relations to its own constructions. The intent of this essay is to discuss the intellectual causes that precede building and precede theory. It considers certain fundamental dualities in our thinking about architecture—such as image and word; type and model; imitation ...

Constructive set theory

Journal of Symbolic Logic, 1975
This paper is the third in a series collectively entitled Formal systems of intuitionistic analysis. The first two are [4] and [5] in the bibliography; in them I attempted to codify Brouwer's mathematical practice. In the present paper, which is independent of [4] and [5], I shall do the same for Bishop's book [1].
