About this book

This book discusses energy transfer, fluid flow and pollution in built environments. It provides a comprehensive overview of the highly detailed fundamental theories as well as the technologies used and the application of heat and mass transfer and fluid flow in built environments, with a focus on the mathematical models and computational and experimental methods. It is a valuable resource for researchers in the fields of buildings and environment, heat transfer and global warming.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
There are several problems which arouse worldwide attention: energy crisis, environmental pollution, and water scarcity. Currently, about 90% of Chinese cities suffer from the severe haze phenomenon which is mainly caused by the emissions of fossil-fired power stations, the exhaust of vehicles, and the dust from numerous construction sites.

Chapter 2. Heat Transfer and Pollutant Dispersion in Street Canyons
Abstract
The Heat transfer rapid economic development with a dramatic growth of urbanization has induced many environmental issues. The emission of various pollutants into the atmospheric is one of the most severe pollutions, which directly associated people’s health problems in urban air environment.

Chapter 3. Thermal Comfort and Pollutant Transport in Outdoor Street Buildings
Abstract
With the development of economic construction in China, the scale of city is on a high speed extension (Cao et al. in Population and Environment 33:137–60, 2012; Cheng and Masser in Landscape And Urban Planning 62:199–217, 2003).

Chapter 4. Filed Synergy Analysis on Pollutant Dispersion in Built Environment
Abstract
Guo et al. (Int J Heat Mass Transf 41:2221–2225, [1]) firstly put forward the concept of field synergy between the velocity distribution and the temperature distribution.

Chapter 5. A Solar Chimney with an Inverted U-Type Cooling Tower to Mitigate Urban Air Pollution
Abstract
The idea of solar chimney power plant (SCPP) was first put forward by Schlaich et al. (Journal of Solar Energy Engineering 127:117–124, 2005 [1]). It is based on the utilization of the air density decrease with increasing temperature. The air is heated in a solar collector, then it rises inside a chimney driven by buoyancy, and it drives turbines to generate electricity. In 1983, the world’s first SCPP was built in Manzanares, Spain. This experimental SCPP with 194.6 m chimney height and 5.08 m radius was fully tested and validated till 1989.
