... generation minimization (EGM) theory coupled with the constructal law (CL). Such pin-fins are employed in a heat exchanger in a sensible thermal energy storage (TES) system so as to enhance the rate of heat transfer. First, the EGM method is used to obtain the optimal length of pin-fins, and then the CL...

... known measures of irreversibility such as entropy generation and lost exergy (destroyed available work). Furthermore, the “principle of entransy dissipation minimization” adds nothing to existing work based on minimum entropy generation, minimum thermal resistance, and constructal law. The broader trend...

...Adrian Bejan; Sylvie Lorente “Design in nature” is a topic of growing interest throughout science. The constructal law is the physics law of design generation and evolution in nature: “for a flow system to persist in time (to live), it must evolve such that it provides easier and easier access...
