Experimental study on heat transfer of multi-walled carbon nanotubes/water nanofluids in horizontal microtubes
(ASME, 2016)
In this study, heat transfer characteristics of multi-walled carbon nanotube based nanofluids were investigated in horizontal microtubes with outer and inner diameters of ∼1067 and ∼889 μm, respectively. Carbon nanotubes ...
Optimization of spectrally selective Si/SiO2 based filters for thermophotovoltaic devices
(Elsevier, 2017-08)
Design of a spectrally selective filter based on one-dimensional Si/SiO2 layers is considered for improved performance of thermo-photovoltaic devices. Spectrally selective filters transmit only the convertible radiation ...
A design tool for direct and non-stochastic calculations of near-field radiative transfer in complex structures: The NF-RT-FDTD algorithm
(Elsevier, 2017)
Advances in nanotechnology and nanophotonics are inextricably linked with the need for reliable computational algorithms to be adapted as design tools for the development of new concepts in energy harvesting, radiative ...
An evaluation of energy efficiency measures in a Turkish campus building for thermal comfort and economic risk
(International Building Performance Simulation Association, 2015)
As new and retrofitted Turkish buildings adopt stateof-the-art energy efficiency measures, hidden risks associated with compromised thermal comfort and disappointing returns on investment could go unnoticed unless a building ...
Local density of electromagnetic states within a nanometric gap formed between two thin films supporting surface phonon polaritons
(AIP Publishing, 2010)
We present a detailed physical analysis of the near-field thermal radiation spectrum emitted by a silicon carbide (SiC) film when another nonemitting SiC layer is brought in close proximity. This is accomplished via the ...
Increasing the stability of nanofluids with cavitating flows in micro orifices
(AIP, 2016)
One of the most critical challenges for nanofluids in practical applications is related to their stability and reusability since a gradual agglomeration of nanoparticles in nanofluids occurs with time and is accelerated ...
Near to far-field thermal emission by nanoparticles on a substrate: Evaluation of effective medium theory
(The Optical Society, 2014)
We study the near to far-field thermal emission of a thin SiC film with/without nanospheres placed upon it. We show that Effective Medium Theorem produces questionable results when approximating emission and absorption ...
Integrated engineering and architecture for the energy efficient academic buildings
(International Building Performance Simulation Association, 2015-12)
In this paper, we outline a comprehensive and integrated collaboration between engineering and architecture team to build an energy efficient building. Within the framework of the EU FP7 project, titled NEED4B, we have ...
Enhancing local absorption within a gold nano-sphere on a dielectric surface under an AFM probe
(Elsevier, 2016-07)
This study considers enhancing localized absorption by a gold nanoparticle (NP) placed over a substrate where an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip is in close proximity of the particle. The gold NP and AFM tip are interacting ...
Special Issue on the Second International Workshop on Micro- and Nano-Scale Thermal Radiation
(Elsevier, 2015-06)
Micro- and nano-scale thermal radiation has become one of the fastest growing research areas because of advances in nanotechnology and the development of novel materials. The related research and development includes ...
