Summary Salt-gradient solar ponds (SGSPs) are water bodies that capture and accumulate large amounts of solar energy. The design of an SGSP field has never been analyzed in terms of studying the optimal number of solar ponds that must be built to max

SUMMARY This paper reports the thermodynamic optimization of air conditioning systems with one or more evaporators, for one or more rooms. First, the paper shows that the minimization of the total power requirement leads to the same results as the mi

SUMMARY This paper documents the fundamental problem of designing a porous flow architecture that meets the requirements of facilitating flow access while storing and releasing heat to a flowing fluid. Examples of such designs are regenerators that o

SUMMARY Here, we show how to distribute multiple layers of insulation along a nonisothermal enclosure so that the total heat loss is minimal. The types and total amounts of insulation materials are fixed. Variables are the thicknesses of the insulati

This study shows that the main features of a steam generator can be determined based on the method of constructal design. The generator is endowed with freedom to morph, and then is optimized by putting the right components in the right places. The n

Here we constructal design to determine the area size (or number of users N) to be allocated to a central refrigeration plant, and to configure the distribution network for the distributed cooling system. The main objective is to maximize the net coo

This paper shows that the mass inventory for steam turbines can be distributed between high-pressure (HP) and low-pressure (LP) turbines such that the global performance of the power plant is maximal. This is demonstrated for two design classes. For

Constructal theory considers the generation of flow configuration as a natural (physics) phenomenon, and attributes it to a physics principle (the constructal law): ‘For a flow system to persist in time (to survive) it must evolve in such a way tha

SUMMARY This is a review of recent progress on constructal design made in two directions: multi-scale flow structures, and multi-objective design. The first direction is associated with the maximization of heat transfer rate density in a fixed volume

The aim of this work is to describe the ingress of ionic species into a saturated porous medium. The paper focuses on the case of cement-based materials penetrated by chloride. A new approach is proposed to describe ionic transfer in porous media. Th
