Constructal Theory accounts for the universal phenomenon of generation and evolution of design. Constructal Theory has been used to explain deterministically the generation of shape in flow structures of nature (river basins, lungs, atmospheric circulation, vascularized tissues, etc.) based on an evolutionary principle of flow access in time. This chapter considers the constructal design of three thermal systems: T-shaped cavity, electric motor fins and hollow bioreactor for solid-state fermentation.

Abstract

Constructal Theory accounts for the universal phenomenon of generation and evolution of design. Constructal Theory has been used to explain deterministically the generation of shape in flow structures of nature (river basins, lungs, atmospheric circulation, vascularized tissues, etc.) based on an evolutionary principle of flow access in time. This chapter considers the constructal design of three thermal systems: T-shaped cavity, electric motor fins and hollow bioreactor for solid-state fermentation.
