The book introduces a revolutionary constructal theory that links the design and optimization of engineered systems to geometric forms found in nature, suggesting that both arise from the need for improved performance. Adrian Bejan explores various parallels between engineered systems, like heat exchangers, and natural flow systems, such as river channels. With numerous illustrations, examples, and homework problems, it serves as an excellent resource for engineering design courses while also engaging readers from diverse fields, including natural sciences and economics.
