Finally, Professor Bejan explains how people, like everything else that moves on earth, are driven by power derived from our "engines" that consume fuel and food, and that our movement dissipates the power completely and changes constantly for greater access, economies of scale, efficiency, innovation and life.

In its expanded 4th edition, this book offers a user-friendly introduction to convection in porous media, with some 2,000 new references and coverage of current research in nanofluids, cellular porous materials, strong heterogeneity, pulsating flow and more

This new edition includes nearly 1000 new references.

Intended as a text for advanced undergraduates and as a reference for practicing engineers, the book uses the physics of flows in porous materials to tie together a wide variety of important issues from such fields as biomedical engineering, energy conversion, civil engineering, electronics, chemical engineering, and environmental engineering.

In this groundbreaking 2000 book, Adrian Bejan shows that shape and structure spring from the struggle for better performance in both engineering and nature and that the same objectives and constraints principle applies. From heat exchangers to river channels, the book draws many parallels between the engineered and the natural world.

Presents the diverse field of Entropy Generation Minimization (EGM), the method of thermodynamic optimization of real devices. This book combines the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics.
