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 ...
Interaction between free-stream turbulence and tip-vortices of wind turbine blades with and without winglets
(IOP Publishing, 2018)
Experimental investigations of the free-stream turbulence impact on the tip-vortices generated in wind turbine blades have been performed. The investigation is done by exposing an efficient laboratory scale wind turbine ...
Active-grid turbulence effect on the topology and the flame location of a lean premixed combustion
(Society of Thermal Engineers of Serbia, 2018)
Lean premixed combustion under the influence of active-grid turbulence was computationally investigated, and the results were compared with experimental data. The experiments were carried out to generate a premixed flame ...
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 ...
Computer simulations of 4240 MOF membranes for H2/CH4 separations: insights into structure–performance relations
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-04-14)
Design of new membranes having high H2/CH4 selectivity and high H2 permeability is strongly desired to reduce the energy demand for H2 production. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) offer a great promise for membrane-based ...
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, ...
Conduction-driven cooling of LED-based automotive LED lighting systems for abating local hot spots
(SPIE, 2018-02)
Light-emitting diode (LED)-based automotive lighting systems pose unique challenges, such as dual-side packaging (front side for LEDs and back side for driver electronics circuit), size, harsh ambient, and cooling. Packaging ...
Evaluation of chemical mechanical polishing-based surface modification on 3D dental implants compared to alternative methods
(MDPI AG, 2018-11-15)
Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) has been introduced in previous studies as a synergistic technique to modify the surface chemistry and topography of titanium-based implants to control their biocompatibility. In this ...
Numerical investigation of the flame location of turbulent premixed combustion in a diffuser burner exposed to various turbulence intensities and turbulence length scales
(Turkish Society of Thermal Science and Technology (TIBTD), 2018)
This study aims to investigate the response of the flame location of a turbulent premixed flame that has been exposed to various turbulence intensities and turbulence length scales. A diffuser-type burner is used to reveal ...
