Based on constructal theory, the disc-shaped solid–gas reactors combined heat and mass transfer are investigated in this paper. Radial- and branched-pattern of the discs are considered, and the two pattern discs are optimized based on entropy generation rate minimization. The results show that...

Based on constructal theory, generalized constructal optimization of a solidification heat transfer process of slab continuous casting is carried out by taking a complex function as optimization objective. The complex function is composed of the functions of the heat loss rate and surface...
