Adrian Bejan, 1996 Constructal Theory
"For a finite-size system to persist in time (to live), it must evolve in such a way that it provides easier access to the imposed currents that flow through it." -Bejan, 1996- Constructal Law
Constructal Theory • Flow systems under size-constraint • Tree architecture predicted • Tree/Vascular/Dendritic
Principles • Every system will remain imperfect • The best that can be done is to optimally distribute imperfections • Imperfections distribute to the smallest scale of system • This optimal distribution will result in the geometry/shape of the system • The perfect form is the least imperfect form possible.
