Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Factors Affecting Convective Heat Transfer
Geometry: flat plate, circular cylinder, sphere, spheroids plus many other shapes. In addition to the general shape, size, aspect ratio (thin or thick) and orientation (vertical or
horizontal) play a significant role in convective heat transfer.
Type of flow: forced, natural, mixed convection as well as laminar, turbulent and transitional flows. These flows can also be considered as developing, fully developed, steady
or transient.
Boundary condition: (i) isothermal wall (Tw = constant) or
(ii) isoflux wall (qw = constant)

Type of fluid: viscous oil, water, gases (air) or liquid metals.
Fluid properties: symbols and units

β, (1/K)
All properties are temperature dependent and are usually determined at the film temperature, Tf = (Tw + T∞ )/2
External Flow: the flow engulfs the body with which it interacts thermally
Internal Flow: the heat transfer surface surrounds and guides the convective stream
Forced Convection: flow is induced by an external source such as a pump, compressor, fan, etc.
2
3. Natural Convection: flow is induced by natural means without the assistance of an external
mechanism. The flow is initiated by a change in the density of fluids incurred as a result
of heating.
Mixed Convection: combined forced and natural convection
Dimensionless Groups
In the study and analysis of convection processes it is common practice to reduce the total number
of functional variables by forming dimensionless groups consisting of relevant thermophysical
properties, geometry, boundary and flow conditions.
Prandtl number: P r = ν/α where 0 < P r < ∞ (P r → 0 for liquid metals and P r →
∞ for viscous oils). A measure of ratio between the diffusion of momentum to the diffusion
of heat.
Reynolds number: Re = ρU L/µ ≡ U L/ν (forced convection). A measure of the balance
between the inertial forces and the viscous forces.
Peclet number: P e = U L/α ≡ ReP r
Grashof number: Gr = gβ(Tw − Tf )L3 /ν 2 (natural convection)
Rayleigh number: Ra = gβ(Tw − Tf )L3 /(α · ν) ≡ GrP r
Nusselt number: N u = hL/kf This can be considered as the dimensionless heat transfer
coefficient.
Stanton number: St = h/(U ρCp ) ≡ N u/(ReP r)
Forced Convection
The simplest forced convection configuration to consider is the flow of mass and heat near a flat
plate as shown below.
• as Reynolds number increases the flow has a tendency to become more chaotic resulting in
disordered motion known as turbulent flow
– transition from laminar to turbulent is called the critical Reynolds number, Recr
Recr =

• the thin layer immediately adjacent to the wall where viscous effects dominate is known as
the laminar sublayer
Boundary Layers
Velocity Boundary Layer
• the region of fluid flow over the plate where viscous effects dominate is called the velocity
or hydrodynamic boundary layer
Thermal Boundary Layer
• the thermal boundary layer is arbitrarily selected as the locus of points where

12. Natural Convection
What Drives Natural Convection?
• fluid flow is driven by the effects of buoyancy
• fluids tend to expand when heated and contract when cooled at constant pressure
• therefore a fluid layer adjacent to a surface will become lighter if heated and heavier if cooled
by the surface
Recall from forced convection that the flow behavior is determined by the Reynolds number. In
natural convection, we do not have a Reynolds number but we have an analogous dimensionless
group called the Grashof number
Gr =
buouancy force

g = gravitational acceleration, m/s2

13. β = volumetric expansion coefficient, β ≡ 1/T
Tw = wall temperature, K
T∞ = ambient temperature, K

respect to temperature and is given as

stationary fluid looks as follows:

15. Natural Convection From Plate Fin Heat Sinks
Plate fin heat sinks are often used in natural convection to increase the heat transfer surface area
and in turn reduce the boundary layer resistance

hA ↑
For a given baseplate area, W × L, two factors must be considered in the selection of the number
of fins
• more fins results in added surface area and reduced boundary layer resistance,

R ↓=
hA ↑
• more fins results in a decrease fin spacing, S and in turn a decrease in the heat transfer
coefficient

A basic optimization of the fin spacing can be obtained as follows:

Q = hA(Tw − T∞ )

edges ignored.
