Increasing focus on reducing energy consumption has raised public awareness of renewable energy resources, particularly the integration of natural ventilation devices in buildings such as wind towers. The purpose of this paper was to compare the traditional evaporative wind tower technique with...

Advancements into the computational studies have increased the development of heat pipe arrangements, displaying multiphase flow regimes and highlighting the broad scope of the respective technology for utilization in passive and active applications. The purpose of this review is to evaluate...

Increasing emphasis on reducing power consumption has raised public awareness of natural and renewable energy resources, particularly the integration of natural ventilation systems in buildings such as wind towers. The aim of this work is to incorporate heat transfer devices in a wind tower to...

Wind towers have been in existence in various forms for centuries as a non mechanical means of providing indoor ventilation, energy prices and climate change agendas have refocused engineers and researchers on the low carbon credentials of modern equivalents. The purpose of this study is to...

A detailed investigation into determining the passive airside cooling capability of heat pipes in response to gradually varying external temperatures was carried out. The city of Doha, Qatar was taken as the location of case-study and the climatic data for June 21st, 2012 was incorporated in the...

Increasing levels of urbanisation and indoor air quality have led to enhanced research and development of sustainable technologies in buildings. This study investigated natural ventilation streams typically found in domestic buildings and used heat pipe technology to recover the energy from...
