Regrann from @franklininstitute - Adrian Bejan had to find a way to cool smaller and smaller electronics without using fans or coolants. Faced with this challenge, he discovered how to flow heat away from small electronics and follow natural pathways allowing it to escape on its own. This discovery not only keeps your laptop from overheating (and allows portable electronics to even exist), it sparked an entire line of thought for Bejan about how natural systems branch and flow. As he explains, "The designs we see in nature are not the result of chance. They arise naturally, spontaneously because they enhance access to flow in time." A river delta, for example, begins with a single stream, then develops tributaries and branches, increasing in complexity as water continues to flow and seek easier paths. From this, “constructal theory” was born. • #AdrianBejan #FranklinInstitute #FranklinInstituteAwards #ConstructalTheory #Constructal • Adrian Bejan is the winner of The Franklin Institute’s 2018 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Mechanical Engineering.

Is anyone else going to the @nsfgov conference on #constructal theory? Find me there: @leahtwitchell

"I do not see a difference between art and science. They are both about images in motion. The inner pleasure is the same whether making a piece of art that inspires the viewer or coming up with a scientific idea that triggers explosions of images in the mind of the same viewer. Scientists and artists are specimens of the same species." -Adrian Bejan, Physics of Life #physicsoflife #designinnature #constructallaw #constructalart #adrianbejan #lifeinmotion #artandscience

"The movement of animals is analogous to inanimate moving-and-mixing designs such as the turbulent eddies in rivers, oceans and the atmosphere. It is not an exaggeration to regard animals as self-driven bodies of water, that is, carriers of water mass that move and mix in the same way as do eddies in the ocean and atmosphere." -Adrian Bejan #physicsoflife #movementislife #evolutionisflow #constructal #constructallaw #elephants #animaltracks #animalsarewater #itsallconnected
