When ambient air flows through porous media, it carries moisture. In this process, temperature and moisture are coupled: The vapor saturates depending on the temperature conditions, while latent heat effects due to evaporation and condensation modify the temperature. We discussedheat and moisture tran...
[7,8,9,10,11,12,13]; (ii) actuators with extrinsically soft structures, such as elastomeric bodies that are deformed by embedded motor-pulled cables [14,15,16] or by embedded thermally shrinking fibres; the latter can be made, for instance, of shape memory alloys [17] or twisted-and-...
