Geometry Optimization of Self-Similar Transport Network

We optimize geometries of various self-similar transport networks using a three-step strategy based on the entransy theory. Using this optimization method, we obtained optimal relationships of geometric parameters of T-shape networks for fluid flow, heat conduction, convective heat transfer, and oth...
