Challenges for radiative transfer 1: towards the effective solution of conjugate heat transfer problems
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
This paper lists crucial challenges in radiative transfer with the objective of gathering information on improving and choosing methods for solving conjugate heat transfer problems. Developments in computational and ...
Effect of electrostatic stabilization on thermal radiation transfer in nanosuspensions: Photo-thermal energy conversion applications
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
Solar thermal collectors are among the most important photo-thermal energy conversion systems. Effectiveness of these systems is measured by the ability of working fluid to absorb incident radiative energy. Although ...
Radiative energy and exergy analyses of spectrally-selective surfaces for CSP systems
(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2018)
This work presents a new methodology for calculations of spectral radiative energy and radiative exergy to evaluate the performances of concentrated solar power (CSP) systems. Spectral radiative properties and the operating ...
A prelude to the fundamentals and applications of radiation transfer
(Springer Nature, 2018)
Radiation transfer is one of the three pillars of heat transfer processes, along with conduction and convection. It is essential for any high-temperature industrial process taking place in combustion chambers, flames and ...
Plasmon coupling between complex gold nanostructures and a dielectric substrate
(The Optical Society, 2018-10-20)
Intercoupling of an incident electric field in metal nanoparticles causes asymmetric distribution of surface charges, which eventuates in shifting of the surface plasmon resonance frequency. This feature can be used in ...
Solar radiation exergy and quality performance for Iraq and Turkey
(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2018)
The present study is conducted with two primary objectives: First, a new formulation for the maximum efficiency of the solar radiation conversion is developed by considering the radiative energy transfer between two surfaces ...
The effect of pH on particle agglomeration and optical properties of nanoparticle suspensions
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
Nanoparticle suspensions (NPSs) are used extensively to improve the thermal efficiency of different engineering systems because of their unique thermo-optical properties. NPSs have also been uses in coatings as they improve ...
Static and dynamic analyses for the exergetic, exergoeconomic and environmental assessment of a high-performance building
(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2018)
This paper presents an exergetic, exergoeconomic and environmental assessment of an existing high-performance building using both static and dynamic analyses. The IEA ECBCS framework is adopted for exergy analysis, whereas ...
