Dekar Wangchuk (left) and Lhakpa Tempa Waiba (right) from the College of Science and Technology came to Lund in February for a 3.5-month Linnaeus-Palme exchange with Lund University. Lhakpa has worked there to mathematically simulate the dynamic heat transfer in fruit drying in order to produce better fruit dryers – a contribution to the ongoing solar drying project.
Dekar has worked with how to make concrete from cement and wood wool and shavings, a building material that has the potential to improve thermal comfort indoors in traditional houses, and with modern simulation programs to study the effects of modern building materials in traditional Bhutanese houses.
