Constructal Law
"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 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.
