Resumen
Los techos fríos pueden ayudar a reducir el calor interior en el África subsahariana. La asequibilidad, la efectividad y la propiedad local son factores clave para la aceptación de la tecnología de techos fríos por parte de la comunidad.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Ciencias del medio ambiente
- Salud pública
- Ciencias de los materiales
Sus antecedentes:
- El aumento de las temperaturas interiores representa un desafío significativo en los entornos rurales de bajos ingresos en el África subsahariana.
- Las estrategias de enfriamiento pasivo como los techos fríos están subutilizados, con un entendimiento limitado de su aceptabilidad en estas regiones.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Explorar los factores que influyen en la aceptabilidad y la conveniencia de la tecnología de techos fríos en las zonas rurales de Burkina Faso.
- Evaluar las percepciones de la comunidad de los techos fríos como una estrategia de adaptación al calor extremo.
Principales métodos:
- Realizó cuatro grupos de discusión con 48 participantes en Nouna, Burkina Faso.
- Utilizó análisis temático reflexivo para analizar datos cualitativos.
- Aplicado Sekhon y otros. " (2017) marco de aceptabilidad, examinando siete componentes.
Principales resultados:
- Los participantes destacaron la necesidad urgente de estrategias de adaptación al calor debido a las temperaturas extremas en interiores.
- Los techos fríos se perciben como aceptables si son asequibles, efectivos para reducir el calor y se alinean con los valores de autoeficacia, producción local y propiedad.
Conclusiones:
- Proporcionar información técnica sobre la función y el mantenimiento de techos fríos puede mejorar la aceptabilidad y la absorción.
- El compromiso de la comunidad a través de resultados compartidos, testimonios de usuarios y comentarios sobre la usabilidad y la durabilidad puede fomentar la conveniencia.

01:21Masonry in Cold and Hot Weather Conditions
133
In cold weather, masonry construction requires specific precautions to ensure mortar does not freeze before curing, as this can significantly weaken its strength and watertightness. Mortar temperature should be maintained between 60°F and 80°F to support proper hydration and curing. Below 40°F, mortar water must be heated, but should not exceed 120°F as high temperatures can reduce mortar's compressive and bond strength.

01:29Frost Resistant Concrete
135
Concrete's susceptibility to frost damage during freeze-thaw cycles demands strategic measures to enhance its frost resistance. Employing techniques like air entrainment, adjusting the water-cement ratio, proper curing, and selecting appropriate aggregates are essential.
Introducing microscopic air bubbles into the concrete mix through air entrainment creates small voids that accommodate ice expansion, thereby reducing internal pressures and preventing cracking. The optimal amount of...

01:16Energy Conservation and Bernoulli's Equation
9.4K
Applying the conservation of energy principle or the work-energy theorem to an incompressible, inviscid fluid in laminar, steady, irrotational flow leads to Bernoulli's equation. It states that the sum of the fluid pressure, potential, and kinetic energy per unit volume is constant along a streamline.
All the terms in the equation have the dimension of energy per unit volume. The kinetic energy per unit volume is called the kinetic energy density, and the potential energy per unit volume is...

01:14Temperature Measurement Sites
2.2K
A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...

01:07Refrigerators and Heat Pumps
2.4K
Refrigerators or heat pumps are heat engines operating in a reverse direction. For a refrigerator, the focus is on removing heat from a specific area, whereas, for a heat pump, the focus is on dumping heat into one particular area. A refrigerator (or heat pump) absorbs heat Qc from the cold reservoir at Kelvin temperature Tc and discards heat Qh to the hot reservoir at Kelvin temperature Th, while work W is done on the engine’s working substance.

02:44Heating and Cooling Curves
23.9K
When a substance—isolated from its environment—is subjected to heat changes, corresponding changes in temperature and phase of the substance is observed; this is graphically represented by heating and cooling curves.
For instance, the addition of heat raises the temperature of a solid; the amount of heat absorbed depends on the heat capacity of the solid (q = mcsolidΔT). According to thermochemistry, the relation between the amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance, q, and its...
