Reflections In this chapter, the mitigation effect of greening solutions on air pollution within urban canyons is reviewed. First, a glance at the specific scientific literature is made and the different outcomes by authors about the effectiveness of greening solutions on air quality improvements are stressed. The main parameters to consider,...

The combined forced and free flow in a vertical annular duct is studied under the hypothesis of steady-state parallel laminar flow. The Boussinesq approximation is invoked and the viscous dissipation is considered as negligible. The thermal boundary conditions are such that axial symmetry does not occur and temperature does not change in the...

Any intervention on the envelope/HVAC system of existing buildings should start from the evaluation of the building's envelope energy-saving options. Typical buildings critical from the energy standpoint are represented by social housings: in this case the energy-saving is not possible without the building's envelope renovation. Their energy...

The laminar mixed convection in a vertical annular duct is studied. The fully developed region is considered under the hypothesis of parallel flow. The momentum local-balance equation and the energy local-balance equation are solved analytically by means of the Fourier-series expansions method. Moreover, the Fanning friction factors are...
