CFD Analysis of Dual‐Layer PCM Roofs for Thermal Mitigation in Residential Buildings

Heat Transfer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a computational fluid dynamics analysis of dual‐layer phase change material (PCM) roofs for passive cooling in residential buildings under the hot and humid climate of Bangladesh. A three‐dimensional transient model was developed in ANSYS Fluent using the enthalpy–porosity approach to simulate coupled heat conduction ...

CO2 Fluxes and Soil Responses to Straw and Herbicide in Peanut

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peanut cultivation plays an important agronomic role in Brazil, especially in rotation with sugarcane, promoting biological nitrogen fixation and improving soil quality. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the combined use of sugarcane mulch, peanut cultivation, and herbicide application would affect soil CO₂ fluxes, soil chemical ...

Achieving Sustainable Development Goals Through Social Life Cycle Assessment: A Case Study of Portuguese Forest Wood Supply Chains

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social considerations are often overlooked in efforts to achieve sustainable development, despite being critical for building equitable and resilient global value chains. This study addresses this gap by applying a social life cycle assessment to three key Portuguese forest wood supply chains—uncoated woodfree paper, natural cork stoppers, and
