Performance Degradation of Common Photovoltaic Module Temperature Models From a Lowland Site to a Highland Site in Western China

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Four PV module temperature models (Ross, Faiman, PVsyst, and SAPM) in pvlib systematically underestimate module temperature, particularly in high‐altitude environments. Site‐specific recalibration substantially reduces model bias, while the limited transferability of empirical coefficients highlights the need for locally adapted parameterization in ...

Forced Draught Impact on Externally Venting Flames: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wind can significantly influence fire development and spread in urban and forest environments causing fatal consequences for the public, the first responders, and the environment. Wind‐driven fires can have a significant impact on structural fires as wind can increase the fire's intensity, development, and flame spread.

Fire Spread Characteristics of Cavities in Modular Constructions and Ventilated Facades

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modular buildings have gained popularity as a sustainable building solution. However, the uncertainty of fire spread through vertical cavity spaces in such buildings has become a concern. Therefore, this study aims to fill the gap in fire behaviour within vertical cavity spaces.

Experimental Characterization of the Effects of Mineral‐Based Fire‐Retardant Admixtures on the Combustion Properties of Polyethylene Blends

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing demand for flame retardant (FR) polymeric materials has highlighted the need to improve the combustion behaviour of highly flammable polymers such as polyethylene (PE). This study investigates the use of eco‐sustainable mineral FRs as a strategy to reduce heat release and smoke production during combustion, while improving the ...

Effect of Microchannel Geometry on Nanoparticle Deposition in Nanofluid Flow

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, EarlyView.
This study numerically analyzed nanoparticle deposition in microchannels with varying geometries. Deposition per unit area decreases significantly with increasing bend angle (28.612 to 8.941 between 30° and 120°) and bend radius (11.922 to 4.769 between 0.2 and 0.4 mm). Acute bends and small radii enhance centrifugal forces and flow separation, leading
