Spectrally selective filter design for passive radiative cooling
(The Optical Society, 2020-04-01)
Radiative cooling is potentially one of the most innovative approaches to reducing energy density in buildings and industry, as well as achieving higher levels of energy efficiency. Several studies have reported the design ...
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 ...
Solution of near-field thermal radiation in one-dimensional layered media using dyadic Green's functions and the scattering matrix method
(Elsevier, 2009-12)
A general algorithm is introduced for the analysis of near-field radiative heat transfer in one-dimensional multi-layered structures. The method is based on the solution of dyadic Green's functions, where the amplitude of ...
Boiling heat transfer enhancement of magnetically actuated nanofluids
(AIP, 2013)
Nanofluids offer a potential breakthrough as next-generation heat transfer fluids since they offer exciting new possibilities to enhance heat transfer performance compared to pure liquids. A major drawback for using ...
An adaptive vent system for localized and customized thermal management in buildings
(ASME, 2020-05-01)
This paper introduces an innovative ventilation system that is capable of providing localized and customized thermal conditions in buildings. The system has diffusers with individually operable flaps that facilitate ...
On ‘‘Radiative transfer in three-dimensional rectangular enclosures containing inhomogeneous,anisotropically scattering media’’
(Elsevier, 2010-07)
Our 1985 paper (JQSRT 1985; 33: 533–549) reported the result of the research we conducted back then to better understand heat transfer processes in large-scale combustion chambers, especially in pulverized coal-fired ...
A unified Monte Carlo treatment of the transport of electromagnetic energy, electrons, and phonons in absorbing and scattering media
(Elsevier, 2010-02)
The scalar Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) is often applicable to radiative energy transfer, electron–beam propagation, as well as thermal conduction by electrons and phonons provided that the characteristic length of ...
Thermal impacts on the performance of nanoscale-gap thermophotovoltaic power generators
(IEEE, 2011-06)
The thermal impacts on the performance of nanoscale-gap thermophotovoltaic (nano-TPV) power generators are investigated using a coupled near-field thermal radiation, charge, and heat transport formulation. A nano-TPV device ...
Heat transfer enhancement with actuation of magnetic nanoparticles suspended in a base fluid
(AIP, 2012)
In this study, we have experimentally demonstrated that heat transfer can be substantially increased by actuating magnetic nanoparticles inside a nanofluid. In order to materialize this, we have utilized a miniature heat ...
Coupling of near-field thermal radiative heating and phonon Monte Carlo simulation: Assessment of temperature gradient in n-doped silicon thin film
(Elsevier, 2014-08)
Near-field thermal radiative exchange between two objects is typically more effective than the far-field thermal radiative exchange as the heat flux can increase up to several orders higher in magnitudes due to tunneling ...
