Bejan Conjecture

The Bejan Conjecture suggests that the way heat and fluids move through systems—like air flow in a room or blood circulation in the body—is governed by principles of thermodynamics, specifically the maximization of entropy (disorder). It proposes that natural systems tend to evolve toward configurations that maximize heat transfer and efficiency under given constraints. In simple terms, systems organize themselves in a way that promotes the most effective heat and mass flow possible, aligning with the broader tendency of nature to move toward states of higher entropy.
