Adrian Bejan – Constructal Law
The constructal law was stated by Duke’s Adrian Bejan in 1996
The constructal law is the law of physics that accounts for the phenomenon of evolution (configuration, form, design) throughout nature, inanimate flow systems and animate systems together.
“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.”
THE CONSTRUCTAL LAW—ADRIAN BEJAN
The constructal law places the concepts of life, evolution, design and performance in physics, which is in the broadest scientific arena. The constructal law is the law of physics of life and evolution3-5.
The constructal law accounts for the arrow of time6, which is the direction of the evolution of flow organization over time. It is receiving wide acceptance in the scientific literature.
