Constructal Theory of Design in Engineering and Nature
This is a brief in tro duc tion to an en gi neer ing the ory on the or i gin and gen er a tion of geo met ric form in all flow sys tems: the an i mate, the in an i mate and the en gi neered. The the ory is named constructal, and is based on the thought that it is nat u ral for cur rents to con struct for them selves in time paths of greater flow access. It is shown that this pro cess of flow pa...
متن کاملShape and Structure, from Engineering to Nature
Seemingly universal geometric forms unite the flow systems of engineering and nature. For example, tree-shaped flows can be seen in computers, lungs, dendritic crystals, urban street patterns, and communication links. In this groundbreaking book, Adrian Bejan considers the design and optimization of engineered systems and discovers a deterministic principle of the generation of geometric form i...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملNote on constructal theory of organization in nature
In analyses of engineering systems, fundamental quest remains the distribution of certain entities (matter, energy) into the space. Thus certain definite forms are generated to serve a specific purpose. Bejan s constructal theory specifically deals with such optimal geometrical constructions. In this present article, equipartition theory is revisited from macroscopic standpoint. It is noted tha...
متن کاملskopos theory and translating strategies of csis in translaed literary texts from english into persian
abstract translation has become a cultural act which plays a significant role in human life. with the emergence of functional translation theories, and skopos theory in particular, translation has been considered as a purposeful, interpersonal and intercultural activity which is produced for particular recipients and directed by a specific purpose. this purpose determines the translatio...
