ENHANCING ENERGY ACCESS BY EARTH-AIR HEAT EXCHANGER FOR BUILDINGS’ THERMAL COMFORT BY THE CONSTRUCTAL DESIGN Open
Harnessing soil low-depth thermal energy to support mechanical systems for buildings’ thermal comfort has been considered one pathway for reducing the buildings’ energy demand (avoid) and adding renewable energy to buildings. The literatur…

Application of constructal theory for the construction of an arrangement of heated blocks inserted in a channel subject to flows with forced convection Open
This work shows an analysis of the construction of the geometric arrangement of blocks mounted on the surfaces of a channel subject to a laminar, incompressible flow, with forced convection in a two-dimensional domain. The construction is …

Air Pollutants Modeling using Bottom-up Vehicular Emissions Inventory Open
Urban air quality is directly associated to vehicle emissions. Although technology of fuel, engines and abate- ment have improved, the incessant increase of the size of the urban fleet promotes further increase in the pollutants by two rea…
