The constructal law of design and evolution in nature.
Constructal theory is the view that (i) the generation of images of design (pattern, rhythm) in nature is a phenomenon of physics and (ii) this phenomenon is covered by a principle (the constructal law): 'for a finite-size flow system to persist in time (to live) it must evolve such that it provides greater and greater access to the currents that flow through it'. This law is about the necessit...
متن کاملComment Constructal law in technology, thermofluid and energy systems, and in design education Comment on “The Constructal Law and the evolution of design in nature” by Bejan and Lorente
It has been said many times in one form or another that there is nothing more understandable and practical than a simple theory. As engineers and scientists, we are always looking for a simple theory, law or equation in every engineering science to explain behaviours and to use as design tools. Examples of such simple theories are Bernoulli’s law in fluid mechanics [1], the first and second law...
متن کاملMacroscopic irreversibility and microscopic paradox: A Constructal law analysis of atoms as open systems
The relation between macroscopic irreversibility and microscopic reversibility is a present unsolved problem. Constructal law is introduced to develop analytically the Einstein's, Schrödinger's, and Gibbs' considerations on the interaction between particles and thermal radiation (photons). The result leads to consider the atoms and molecules as open systems in continuous interaction with flows ...
متن کاملConstructal Law of Vascular Trees for Facilitation of Flow
Diverse tree structures such as blood vessels, branches of a tree and river basins exist in nature. The constructal law states that the evolution of flow structures in nature has a tendency to facilitate flow. This study suggests a theoretical basis for evaluation of flow facilitation within vascular structure from the perspective of evolution. A novel evolution parameter (Ev) is proposed to qu...
