Constructal Optimizations of Line-to-Line Vascular Channels with Turbulent Convection Heat Transfer

The multi-scale line-to-line vascular channels (LVCs) widely exist in nature because of their excellent transmission characteristics. In this paper, models of LVCs with turbulent convection heat transfer are established. Based on constructal theory and the entropy generation minimization principle,...
