Confined jet impingement boiling in a chamber with staggered pillars by Qiu, Lu, Dubey, Swapnil, Choo, Fook Hoong, Duan, Fei

“…In the simulation, the boiling heat transfer is predicted with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) boiling model, in which the wall heat flux is composed of three parts. The predicted boiling curve is compared with the measured one, and the calculated distributions of the vapor volume fraction adjacent to the boiling wall are compared with the captured images. …”

Tectonics of the semi-permanent: Reassembling fit-out architecture by Schnitzler, Jenna

“…In New York engineer Reginald Pelham Bolton’s 1911 obsolescence study “Building for Profit: Principles Governing the Economic Improvement of Real Estate”, he foretold a truth that remains today, that “the useful or economic existence of all classes of buildings, in the rapid march of modern conditions, is constantly shortening” (Bolton, 68). He details how the parts of buildings lose value at different rates—as they physically deteriorate, materials wear and things fall out of style, but even more quickly, he notes, do our structures become economically obsolete. …”
