Bejan s constructal theory of equal potential distribution
نویسنده
چکیده
Bejan s constructal theory is explored for a paradigm problem in electrical theory, analogue of a wide range of transport problems involving flow subject to a Ohm s Law model. The equi-potential optimisation is derived and generalised to further functional behaviour of resistances. The original case illustrates the power of Bejan s asymptoticintersection method. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Note 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 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 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...
