[QUOTE]
"With the constructed law of generation of configuration in nature,
thermodynamics becomes a science of systems with configuration, or read
in the opposite direction, our design ceases to be art and comes closer
to being science, a mental activity with its feet planted firmly in
principle."
-- Adrian Bejan
