The real world has an architecture, a configuration that evolves. The Structural Law makes a contribution to the field of thermodynamics in that it makes it possible to predict the evolution of flow systems over time and the configuration towards which such systems will tend .

The theory of heat (caloric theory) became thermodynamics in 1851, following the work of Sadi Carnot. Combined with work on heat transfer, the thermal sciences came into being in the second half of the 20th century. XX e century. Today, structural thermodynamics associates it with the concept of configuration evolution....
