Bejan's constructal theory of equal potential distribution
Bejan's constructal theory is explored for a paradigm problem in electrical theory, analogue of a wide range of transport problems involving flow subject to a Ohm's Law model. The equi-potential optimisation is derived and generalised to further functional behaviour of resistances. The original case illustrates the power of Bejan's asymptotic-intersection method.
