TL;DR: The basic ideas underlying the constructal concept and methodology are illustrated here by the examples of fluid distribution to a multi-channel reactor, and of the design of a porous material and system for gas adsorption and storage.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a theoretical framework of a method for obtaining multicomponent adsorption equilibrium data by dynamic, chromatographic type experiments, based on analysing the response of a column, equilibrated with a constant feed, to a small impulse perturbation of this background composition.

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of optimal channel size distribution for arborescent (ramified, branched, tree-like) networks used as flow distributors or collectors is formulated as follows: find the distribution of channel radii that minimizes total viscous dissipation (or entropy production, pumping power, pressure drop) under constraints of uniform irrigation and of total volume of channels (or of average residence time).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a specific application of energy integration improvement achieved by modifying the flowsheet of the crude oil atmospheric distillation process, which differs from other methods by the application of exergy analysis to visualize and better understand the distribution of energy degradations in the distillation column in order to find a suitable solution to reduce them.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an original thermodynamic-energetic analysis of the feasibility and ideal performance of thermal machines based on the wetting phenomenon proposed by V. A. Eroshenko.
