Constructal theory has been used to describe a number of naturally evolving processes/phenomena
(global) currents that flow through it” [1]. The main distinction between the classical laws of thermodynamics and constructallaw is the former only describes the final equilibrium state of the system while the latter describes how and through what pathway(s) the system naturally progresses to achieve
