A Constructal Approach to Power Distribution Networks Design
Superior, scalable grid topology that may provide for higher quality of service, survivorship capacity, and reconfiguration capability is a feature of modern grid architecture. The reported research is aimed at delivering a possible, constructal solution that is based on a minimumredundant, scalable, reconfigurable topology that helps increasing the grid immunity to faults. We assume that a tre...
متن کاملAn Analytic Approach to Capillary Pressure in Tree-Shaped Networks
This study analyzes the pressure in capillary tree-shaped networks, based on the thermodynamics and the geometric description of the network. The presence of equilibrium and non-equilibrium effects on pressure is accounted. In particular, the presence of equilibrium effects is shown to be essential for describing the pressure in the network. An approach to the definition of equilibrium capillar...
متن کاملConstructal design of tree-shaped conductive pathways for cooling a heat generating volume
Constructal design is used to study heat removal from a square heated body with a tree shaped high thermal conductivity pathways embedded in the body. The objective is to minimize the defined maximum dimensionless temperature difference for the body. The thermal conductivity of the body is low, and there is a uniform heat generation on it. The volume of the body is fixed. The amount of high con...

متن کاملHop-Constrained Tree-Shaped Networks
Hop constraints are used to limit the number of links between two given points in a network, this way improving the quality of service by increasing the availability and reliability of the network. They have been applied to a limited number of problems, although their application can be of the greatest importance both from the academical and practical points-of-view. In this work, we survey rel...
