Design with Constructal Theory
ADVANCED COURSE IN:
A B O U T T H E C O U R S E
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Design with Constructal Theory (DCT) offers a
revolutionary new approach based on physics for
understanding and predicting the designs that
we find in nature and engineering, from the
design of flying animals and machines to the
cooling of electronics, urban design,
decontamination, vascular smart materials with
new functionalities (self-healing, self-cooling),
tree-shaped heat exchangers and svelte fluid-
flow and solid structures.
This course shows how you can use 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,
the Constructal Law holds that flow design
(configuration, 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.
The DCT course focuses on the principle-based
pursuit of better performance via better
configuration, in time. The course teaches the
strong connection between the thermodynamic
performance and the evolution of the
configuration of the system. Key applications of
this linkage are the energy design of aircraft
structures, electronic packages, urban design,
sustainability and globalization.
TEXT AND NOTES
The course is based on the new textbook
Design with Constructal Theory, by A. Bejan
and S. Lorente, published by Wiley, 2008,
ISBN 978-0-471-99816-7.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This short course is highly recommended for
researchers and designers of all disciplines in
science and engineering. The course
emphasizes fundamentals and concepts. The
teaching is based on geometric thinking,
pencil and paper, the simplest mathematics
possible, and problem solving in the
classroom. Class participation and problem
solving topics from the audience are
encouraged. The course provides the
foundations for pursuing “design as science”.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS
Adrian Bejan received all of his degrees (BS, 1971; MS, 1972; PhD, 1975) in
mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has held
the J. A. Jones distinguished professorship at Duke University since 1989. His work
covers thermodynamics, convective heat transfer, porous media, and constructal
theory of design in nature. He developed the methods of entropy generation
minimization, scale analysis, heatlines and masslines, intersection of asymptotes, and
the constructal law. Professor Bejan is ranked among the 100 most cited authors in
engineering, al disciplines all countries. He received the Max Jakob Memorial Award
and 16 honorary doctorates from universities in 11 countries.
Sylvie Lorente received all her degrees in civil engineering (BS, 1992; MS, 1992; PhD,
1996) from the National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA), Toulouse. She is
Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Toulouse, INSA, and is affiliated with
the Laboratory of Durability of Materials and Constructions, LMDC. Her work covers
several fields, including heat transfer in building structures, fluid mechanics, and
transport mechanisms in cement based materials. She is the author of 90 peer-
refereed articles and three books. Sylvie Lorente received the 2004 Edward F. Obert
Award and the 2005 Bergles-Rohsenow Young Investigator Award in Heat Transfer
from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
