An innovative hybrid passive cooler integrates a porous radiative coating and an atmospheric moisture‐harvesting hydrogel within a melamine sponge skeleton, synergizing radiative cooling, sensible‐heat absorption, and latent‐heat evaporation. It maintains an average 8.3°C sub‐ambient cooling under sunlight and a maximum ∼42.4°C drop under 2000 W·m−2 ...

Instability and Convection in Rotating Porous Media: A Review
A review on instability and consequent natural convection in rotating porous media is presented. Taylor-Proudman columns and geostrophic flows exist in rotating porous media just the same as in pure fluids.

A flash lamp annealing strategy using a mullite chuck enables rapid conversion of sol–gels to metal oxides on silicon and ultra‐thin glass without extra light‐absorbing layers. Direct light absorption initiates the transformation, and the low thermal conductivity of mullite promotes heat accumulation.

A transpiration‐inspired Janus nanofiber membrane creates a persistent dry‐wet interface that couples localized solar heating with hydration‐induced ion regulation. The asymmetric architecture sustains directional water and ion transport, suppresses salt accumulation, and enables simultaneous seawater evaporation and stable electricity generation ...

Polymer‐based hydrogels have emerged as promising materials for atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) due to their high water affinity, tunable network structure, and excellent moisture adsorption‐desorption performance. Functional hydrogel systems enable efficient water capture and controlled release under low‐energy conditions, offering a sustainable ...

Natural convection and the evolution of a reactive porous medium [PDF]
We describe a mathematical model of buoyancy-driven flow and solute transport in a saturated porous medium, the porosity and permeability of which evolve through precipitation and dissolution as a mineral is lost or gained from the pore fluid. Imposing a

Numerical Analysis of Turbulent Mixed Convection in Vertical Annular Channel
Reactor cavity cooling system (RCCS) is a competitive residual heat removal scheme for small modular reactors. In this paper, the RCCS has been simplified to a scenario that ascending air flow is got heated in vertical annular channels and driven by ...

Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling
Radiative cooling materials are mature but only work facing the sky, confining them to rooftops. Instead of developing new ones, this system bridges existing horizontal coolers to vertical windows using blades outside the glass. On an occupied urban building, windows stay up to 1.4°C below air temperature while preserving daylight, outward views, and ...

Herein, a pure deep blue room‐temperature phosphorescence (415 nm) with lifetime up to 2.45 s is successfully achieved by a covalently crosslinking purely organic material based on boric acid (BA) and 3,5‐dicarboxyphenylboronic acid (BOP) through a simple dehydration reaction, which can be adjusted precisely by supramolecular coordination with ...

A CFD model of natural convection in a partially open enclosure
Natural convection in enclosures that are open to their surroundings is of interest to a number of fields, including building ventilation and solar collectors. Natural convection in 2D open cavities have been studied in [1, 2, 3].
