Design with Constructal Theory

Design with Constructal Theory

Adrian Bejan; Sylvie Lorente

John Wiley Sons Inc
2008
sidottu
Design course on the universal principle of configurations in nature and engineering-the constructal law Design with Constructal Theory offers a revolutionary new approach based on physics for understanding and predicting the designs that arise in nature and engineering, from the tree and the forest to the cooling of electronics, urban design, decontamination, and vascular smart materials. This book shows how you can use the method of constructal theory to design human-made systems in order to reduce trial and error and increase the system performance. First developed in the late 1990s, constructal theory holds that flow architecture arises from the natural evolutionary tendency to generate greater flow access in time and in flow configurations that are free to morph. It unites flow systems with solid mechanical structures, which are viewed as systems for the flow of stresses. Constructal theory unites nature with engineering, and helps us generate novel designs across the board, from high-density packages to vascular materials with new functionalities (self-healing, self-cooling), and from tree-shaped heat exchangers to svelte fluid-flow and solid structures. Design with Constructal Theory starts with basic principles and then shows how these principles are applied to understanding and designing increasingly complex systems. Problems and exercises at the end of each chapter give you an opportunity to use constructal theory to solve actual design problems. This book is based on a design course developed by the two authors for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students at Duke University and other universities all over the world. With the authors' expert guidance, students and professionals in mechanical, civil, environmental, chemical, aerospace, and biomedical engineering will understand natural systems, and then practice design as science, by relying on constructal strategies to pursue and discover novel and effective designs.

The strangest true life story you will probably ever read ...This very personal book, by New Zealander Adrian Denyer will astound you. It may sound unbelievable, but he is a truthful man and the incredible details check out. He is also a qualified Acupuncturist .Adrian was born with natural psychic gifts and was raised in a Christian home. Yet year after year, during his active outdoors life, he had numerous close calls with death, and even though he was not living as well as a Christian man should, God seemed to save him miraculously, every time.These close calls included car accidents, falling off horses (over 25 times). skydiving, being shot at, physically attacked, boating and diving mishaps. At one time, after praying when attacked by a group of Satanists at a party, to the amazement of all present, he glowed brightly, causing his attackers to flee.Then one day, at age 29, when life seemed to be ideal, while he was scuba diving, he was suddenly terrified by the sight of Great White shark swimming toward him in full attack mode. He knelt on the sea floor and prayed desperately to God and Jesus, promising to turn his life around and sin no more. Again he was miraculously saved, however he quickly forgot his promise to God.The breaking of his promise appeared to open a door for sinister, dark forces to take over his life and use his psychic gifts for harm, From age 30, and over the next 15 years, he lost everything - his career, family, home, all his possessions - his life became hell on earth.However, he now became able to clearly predict the future, including the 9/11 disaster and numerous other disasters in great detail, long before they happened. These were written down and would astound and 'freak out' everybody. He could also accurately predict lottery numbers and reveal personal phone numbers and other intimate details of people he met.He was also able to see auras, become invisible, see and converse with spirits and had many powerful spiritual experiences. However, he also struggled with alcohol addiction and depression to try and dull the emotional trauma he experienced day after day.Finally, at age 45 after hitting rock bottom, he began attending church again. This led to him spending some months in a Christian run addiction rehab home where he finally managed to put his nightmare life behind him. He also felt strongly impressed by God to write this incredible book of his spiritual experiences so others will be aware of the unseen spiritual realities around us. He also reveals how you can enjoy psychic spiritual abilities for good. Adrian is now age 47 (2018).
