Is the Evolution of Energy System Productive Structures Driven by a Physical Principle?
Frontiers in Sustainability, 2021 The aim of the paper is to identify the consequence of the Constructal Principle in the field of Thermoeconomics of (energy) production systems. This Principle has been recently formulated as an extension of the Maximum Entropy Production Principle and ...

The city of future: biourbanism and constructural law [PDF]
, 2016 Nowadays dynamic elements in urban fabric are often concealed by the insertion of stylish new architecture; real patterns of social life (‘bios’), have been replaced by rigid geometric grids and compact building blocks.

Constructal law & thermoeconomics [PDF]
International Journal of Heat and Technology, 2016 In spite of evident differences, Constructal Theory and Thermoeconomics (in particular thermoeconomic optimization) have also some similarities. For instance, they both suggest the optimal allocation of two different types of losses: high permeability vs.

Constructal theory of global circulation and climate [PDF]
, 2006 The constructal law states that every flow system evolves in time so that it develops the flow architecture that maximizes flow access under the constraints posed to the flow.

Constructal view of scaling laws of river basins [PDF]
, 2006 River basins are examples of naturally organized flow architectures whose scaling properties have been noticed long ago. Based on data of geometric characteristics, Horton [Horton, R.E., 1932. Drainage basin characteristics. EOS Trans. AGU 13, 350–361.],
