Augmenting occupant thermal experience with cyber-physical-social systems : a case study on adaptive vents
Keskin, Cem (2020-06-11)Buildings use more than 30% of global energy, while 36% of this energy comes from direct combustion of fossil fuels. Hence, buildings constitute a considerable share of CO2 emissions and has a large contribution to climate ... -
Effect of pH on particle agglomeration and radiative transfer in nanoparticle suspensions
Al-Gebory, Layth Wadhah Ismael (2018-08)Nanoparticle suspensions (NPSs) are solid-fluid mixtures where small dielectric or metallic particles (with sizes <100 nm) used in a base fluid. NPSs have unique and tunable thermo-optical properties, and for that reason ... -
Energy and exergy efficiency analyses of high-performance buildings
Al-Doury, Raaid Rashad Jassem (2018-11-26)Reducing building energy density has become one of the global requirements to a decrease fuel consumption and emission production, and consequently making our world sustainable. The high value of energy consumed by buildings ... -
Evaluation of bioimplants surface nano-micro design by chemical mechanical polishing against alternative methods
Al Saeedi, Riaid Hadi Salih (2019-01-11)Biomaterials comprise a representative fraction of the products used in the health area. Biomedical devices (such as biosensors, blood circulation tubes, hemodialysis systems) can be cited as examples. Biomaterials can be ... -
Investigation of flame characteristics in a turbulent premixed combustion
Alhumairi, Mohammed Khudhair Abbas (2018-10)In this thesis, the turbulent flame closure (TFC) model and coherent flame model (CFM) of turbulent premixed flames as steady state flow are used. In addition, large eddy simulation (LES) model as unsteady state flow is ... -
Near- and far-field thermal radiation in metamaterials and the development of NF-RT-FDTD algorithm
Didari, Azadeh (2016-06)In this dissertation, analysis of near-field regime of thermal radiative transfer in metamaterials supporting surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs) is given. Solutions of electromagnetic fields at subwavelength distances are ... -
Radiative cooling by spectrally selective materials for building
Family, Roxana (2018-01-03)Buildings utilize more than one-third of the total energy consumed in counties within the Mediterranean climate zones like in Turkey. Particularly during the summer months, the absorption of solar energy by the buildings ... -
Thermal and radiative energy/exergy analyses of parabolic trough collector systems
Mohammed, Hayder Noori (2018-08)The concept of exergy is used to determine the maximum energy that can be extracted from a system. It is based on both the first and the second laws of thermodynamics and allows us to determine the irreversibilities ... -
Turbulence and flame interaction for control of flame location in diffuser combustor
Nazzal, Ibrahim Thamer Nazzal (2018-08)Achieving an appropriate flame location is desirable in many combustion system applications especial in the design of the combustion system. Given that the characteristics of turbulent flows influence flame behavior and ...
