Heat Load Mitigation Studies in the W7‐X Stellarator Experiment

open access: yesContributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the experiments at the stellarator Wendelstein 7‐X (W7‐X) with fully water‐cooled plasma‐facing components (PFC), including carbon‐fiber composite (CFC) divertor targets with a thermal load capability of 10 MW/m2, high performance was achieved.

Exploring Biomaterial-Based CoolRoofs: Empirical Insights into Energy Efficiency and CO2 Emissions Reduction

open access: yesEnergies
The Cool Roof concept, known for its efficiency in summer due to high temperatures during this period, employs a light coating that covers the roof to prevent the absorption of heat and maintain lower indoor temperatures. This study integrates a chemical

Impact of passive cooling techniques on the thermal behavior of residential buildings in hot and arid regions -An experimental study-

open access: yesJournal of Building Materials and Structures, 2018
The thermal performance of the roof is one of the most important factors for a comfortable environment. As 50% of the thermal loads received by a building come from the roof, this research seeks to find the roofing system that opposes the transmission of

Estimation of Energy Savings for Cool Roof in Residential Building in India

open access: yes, 2019
Cool roof surfaces are highly reflective and are least heated by Sunlight. By reflecting most of the incident sun rays which may otherwise heat the living space, cool roofs can be helpful in maintaining the buildings and environment cooler.

Experimental study on burning rate and flame geometry in construction tunnel fires under high geothermal conditions

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract As tunnel construction advances in lengths and depths, the construction of tunnels in high geothermal environments has become increasingly common, raising significant fire risks. In this study, a 1:20 scale model tunnel test platform was constructed to investigate the effects of a high geothermal environment on fire behavior in tunnels during ...

Study on the Accelerated Aging Test Method in the Development of a Self-Cleaning Topcoat for Cool Roofs

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2020
The heat island phenomenon in urban areas has become a problem in the recent years. One measure to overcome this, which has been attracting attention, is painting the cool roof with a paint that has high solar reflectance.

Rain On The Roof-Evaporative Spray Roof Cooling

open access: yes, 1985
This paper describes evaporative spray roof cooling systems, their components, performance and applications in various climates and building types. The evolution of this indirect evaporative cooling technique is discussed. Psychrometric and sol-air principles are covered and a simplified method of evaluation presented.
