Colorization of passive radiative cooling coatings using plasmonic effects
(Elsevier, 2023-05)Passive radiative cooling is a novel concept and is likely to be important for building and industrial energy ef-ficiency efforts, as it will significantly contribute to the reduction of thermal management costs for ... -
Coupled heat transfer analysis and experiments to evaluate the radiative cooling potential of concrete and green roofs for buildings
(Springer Nature, 2020-08)Improving building energy efficiency is one of the most important challenges towards the mitigation of climate change concerns. Buildings use significant amount of energy for cooling loads. Development of new night-time ... -
Deagglomeration of nanoparticle clusters in a “cavitation on chip” device
(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2020-11-01)Due to the potential of significant energy release in cavitating flows, early cavitation inception and intensification of cavitating flows are of great importance. To use this potential, we investigated the deagglomeration ... -
Reducing shape errors in the discrete dipole approximation using effective media
(Optica Publishing Group, 2023-12-18)The discrete dipole approximation (DDA) simulates optical properties of particles with any given shape based on the volume discretization. These calculations cost a large amount of time and memory to achieve high accuracy, ... -
A review of optical and radiative properties of nanoparticle suspensions: effects of particle stability, agglomeration, and sedimentation
(Begell House Inc., 2020)Nanoparticle suspensions (NPSs) are suspensions of nanosize particles in base fluids in the form of a solid-liquid mixture. They are used extensively in a wide range of industrial and engineering applications, and show ... -
