โฆ Synopsis
13 Space heating and cooling a light pipe with a 95% specular reflectance.
The infra-red radiation transmitted through the material into a passive stack was found to enhance the natural ventilation flow by up to 14%. The effect is greater in summer than in winter, which is highly desirable as there is often a lack of driving force for natural stack ventilation in summer.

## ABSTRACT A model for simulating the microhydrodynamics of liquid/air flow inside membrane pores was developed, using a continuous penalty finite element scheme. The developed scheme combines the features of twoโphase flow systems with flexibility and accuracy. The volume of fluid (VOF) method wa
