Numerical study of the low-Reynolds flows in the vertical heated caverns [PDF]
The object of research is the critical geometry of a three-dimensional air flow in a cavern between two vertical heated plates. In this rate the convection's contribution to heat transfer will be limited due to thermal conductivity at a fixture ...

Ventilated Facades for Low-Carbon Buildings: A Review
The construction sector presently consumes about 40% of global energy and generates 36% of CO2 emissions, making facade retrofits a priority for decarbonising buildings. This review clarifies how ventilated facades (VFs), wall assemblies that interpose a ventilated air cavity between outer cladding and the insulated structure, address that challenge ...

Abstract It is clear that contemporary management education (ME) needs to be transformed to tackle complex social‐ecological crises effectively. However, the concept of transformation is often ill‐defined in the context of ME; while there is also a lack of understanding about what concrete transformation trajectories (also called scaling pathways) are ...
