On occupant behavior and innovation studies towards high performance buildings: a transdisciplinary approach
(MDPI, 2018-10-06)
With ever-increasing population and urbanization, it is crucial to decrease energy density in the built environment without sacrificing occupants’ comfort and well-being. This requires consideration of technological ...
Analysis of sustainable materials for radiative cooling potential of building surfaces
(MDPI AG, 2018)
The main goal of this paper is to explore the radiative cooling and solar heating potential of several materials for the built environment, based on their spectrally-selective properties. A material for solar heating, ...
Biomimicry designs for passive optical solutions for nanoscale radiative cooling applications
(SPIE, 2018)
Inspired by the mechanism of the wings of Morpho butterfly, here we propose biomimicry designs which have the potential to be used for radiative cooling purposes. We numerically analyzed the spontaneous emission at near-field ...
A biomimicry design for nanoscale radiative cooling applications inspired by Morpho didius butterfly
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-11-15)
In nature, novel colors and patterns have evolved in various species for survival, recognizability or mating purposes. Investigations of the morphology of various butterfly wings have shown that in addition to the pigmentation, ...
Entropy generation analysis of laminar flows of water-based nanofluids in horizontal minitubes under constant heat flux conditions
(MDPI AG, 2018-04)
During the last decade, second law analysis via entropy generation has become important in terms of entropy generation minimization (EGM), thermal engineering system design, irreversibility, and energy saving. In this ...
