Solar radiation on naturally ventilated double skin facade in real climates: The impact of solar incidence angle

Although the angular dependence of optical properties has long been recognised in transparent glazing facades, the impact of such dependence on natural ventilation between glazing has not been widely studied, especially in building facades with high solar incident angles. To better cope with such properties with the prevailing implementation of transparent building envelopes, this study investigated the effects of high solar incidence angles for vertical building facades through theoretical and numerical methods. The theoretical model validates the features of the optical properties simulated by the numerical model, supporting the numerical model's capability of revealing the radiation reflection, absorption, and transmission when multi-reflection is present. Then, such angular impact is studied with typical seasonal data in three cities, namely Shanghai, Melbourne and Chicago. Results firstly revealed the discrepancies between considering or ignoring multi-reflection between two glazing facades at varying incidence angles. Due to the opposite variation trend in reflectivity and transmissivity over angles, there is a critical solar incidence angle at 75° when multi-reflection's impact on natural ventilation reaches its highest. After that, the influence is reduced to its minimum. Identifying this angle helped highlight the enhanced natural flow due to realistic angular-dependent reflections between transparent panes, namely, under-estimation occurs if the angular dependence is not considered in the setting of optical properties. The analysis in three cities also revealed the climatic and locational impact of the angular impacts on ventilation rates. By addressing the impact on the optical and thermal performance of transparent facades, the dynamic variation of solar conditions can be more accurately integrated into passive building designs.

Electrical and dielectric properties of PVA-doped NiGdxFe2-xO4 nanoferrite particles

NiGdxFe2-xO4 nanoferrites combined with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and having a distinct spinel phase composition (x = 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, and 0.09) were effectively created. Several characterization approaches were used to study the structural, dielectric, and magnetic properties of the PVA-blended nanoferrites. The acquired X-ray diffraction pattern showed the spinel cubic structure. Crystallite sizes of 50, 44, 40, 35, and 31 nm were found in PVA-blended nanoparticles for x = 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, and 0.09, respectively. When compared to the PVA-unblended nanoferrites, the PVA-blended nanoferrites showed insulating properties with an enlarged energy bandgap. Real and complex dielectric constants, as well as the measured dielectric loss, were all in the microwave range (frequency ∼ 1.88–5.93 GHz). At higher frequencies, the dielectric constant became constant after declining with frequency. From the PVA-blended nanoferrites impedance study, pseudocapacitance (x = 0.01, 0.03, and 0.05) and resistive behavior (x = 0.07 and 0.09) were investigated. The magnetization hysteresis plot of PVA-blended NiGdxFe2-xO4 nanoferrites revealed a mild ferromagnetic character. The PVA doping of the produced nanoferrites increased their saturation magnetization and had a considerable microwave absorption capacity. For the broadest range of electromagnetic radiation absorption, ferrite might be the perfect material. The addition of rare-earth ions to these basic ferrites results in a considerable modification of the ferrites’ electromagnetic characteristics.

Increasing efficiency in perovskite solar cells through energy downconversion using nanoparticles

The generation of electricity through solar energy stands out as one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sources worldwide. The global demand for energy, coupled with the rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere, highlights the need to develop renewable sources of energy. The current challenge of utilizing photovoltaic cells for electricity production lies in the efficiency of the photovoltaic conversion process occurring within the device. To enhance the efficiency of photovoltaic devices, scientists have been investigating light conversion processes to improve radiation absorption and conversion. The study and application of the downconversion process with luminescent materials have been explored to prevent energy loss in solar devices. Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have been employed for this purpose due to their favorable optical properties for downconversion applications. Organic–inorganic perovskites, such as methylammonium lead iodide perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3), have shown promising results for power conversion efficiency, and the present study aimed to assess the increased efficiency of perovskite devices with the addition of ZnO nanoparticles on top of the device. Such optical improvement in the device can occur because high-energy photons, which would be absorbed by layers such as glass and ITO, which are not semiconductors and do not generate charge carriers, will now be absorbed by the ZnO NPs and emitted at longer wavelengths. These longer wavelengths will be absorbed in the active layer of the device, thus generating charge carriers. The obtained results demonstrated that ZnO nanoparticles with approximately 45 nm diameter can successfully produce a downconversion process, leading to improved light absorption by the active layer of the cell and consequently improving photovoltaic efficiency of a perovskite device by 5.5 %.

Thermal emitter performance of ultra-broadband solar metamaterial absorber based on metal-insulator-metal device structure

In this paper, we have designed a solar absorber with ultra-broadband absorption. The structure has seven layers with a metal-dielectric periodic film stack and a metallic copper substefficiency. The metal-dielectric periodic membrane stack and the dielectric are continuous to form a metal/dielectric composite microstructure. It has a very high absorption efficiency at 280 nm–2893 nm. The absorption efficiency in this wavelength range is 96.26% and absorption efficiency at AM 1.5 is up to 95.66% by finite difference time domain method (FDTD) simulation. The thermal radiation absorption efficiency of the structure is 93.69% at 1000K and 94.5% at 1200 K, which can also be used in the manufacture of the heat sink due to its high thermal radiation absorption efficiency. Our proposed solar absorber has good incidence angle insensitivity (0°–60°) and good polarization independence (0°–90°). These advantages enable our absorbers to be widely used for solar absorption and emission and offer a variety of design options for ideal absorbers.

Magnetohydrodynamics bio-convection flow at Casson fluid stagnation point in porous medium: Cross-diffusion effect and heat production

This study examines the effect of heat production and radiation absorption on the magnetohydrodynamic Casson fluid flow at the stagnation point in a porous medium. We convert the group of fluid flow equations, which are non-linear partial differential equations with suitable boundary constraints, into a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations. The homotopy analysis method (HAM) solves the converted system of ordinary differential equations. We draw graphs for numerous values of non-dimensional parameters and tables of surface drag force, rates of heat transfer, and mass transfer to analyze the relationship between velocity field, temperature field, concentration field, and other essential parameters involved in the study. We have proven that the Dufour number, radiation parameter, and heat generation parameter elevate the fluid temperature, whereas the magnetic parameter lowers it. The Casson fluid parameter, buoyancy force parameter, and mixed convection parameter all promote fluid movement throughout the flow field. The presented tabular data allows us to see the trend of heat and mass transfer rates, as well as drag force rates, against important parameters, enhancing our understanding of these rates.

Optical characteristics of brown carbon in the atmospheric particulate matter of Dhaka, Bangladesh: Analysis of solvent effects and chromophore identification

The prevalence of brown carbon (BrC) in the atmosphere has experienced a notable upsurge owing to human activities of anthropogenic origin. This study aims to examine the optical characteristics of BrC in both deionized (DI) water and organic solvents (OS), alongside the identification of BrC chromophores within the ambient atmosphere of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Particulate matter (PM) samples were collected on quartz filters using a low-volume sampler from December 2021 to May 2022 at Mukarram Hussain Khundker Bhaban, University of Dhaka. The concentration of BrC was measured using soot analyzer, optical properties of BrC were determined using UV–Vis spectrometer, and BrC chromophores were identified with GC-MS. Average concentration of BrC was 19.13 ± 5.71 μgm−3. The average of absorption coefficient (babs_365), mass absorption efficiency (MAE), absorption angstrom exponent (AAE), and refractive index (kabs_365) of BrC_DI have been observed to be 38.75 ± 21.90 Mm−1, 2.16 ± 1.42 m2 g-1, 1.51 ± 0.08, 0.06 ± 0.04, respectively. The absorption coefficient and MAE of BrC_OS are 1.3 and 1.36 times, respectively higher than that of BrC_DI. Thirty chromophores of BrC have been identified, predominantly consisting of oxygenated compounds. Derivatives of Bisphenol A (C27H44O2Si2) were detected in all samples of oxygenated compounds, primarily originating from the combustion of plastic and the incineration of e-waste. Additionally, compounds containing nitrogen and sulfur, such as C14H26N2O, C31H55N, and C31H49NO3S, were identified, largely attributed to biomass combustion and traffic emissions. These chromophores play a significant role in the absorption of solar radiation, thus influencing atmospheric photochemistry.

Repetitive shock waves generated by a single long pulse underwater arc discharge

The electrohydraulic effect induced by underwater arc discharge is an efficient way to generate controllable, high-intensity shock waves. However, the development process of underwater arc discharge involves the complex coupling of plasma arc, gas bubble, and liquid medium, of which the evolution mechanism is not well understood. In this paper, the underwater arc discharge process at a millisecond pulse (>50 ms) was investigated by high-speed shadow imaging and colorimetric temperature measurement, and a simulation model of bubble pulsation was proposed to quantitatively estimate the state variation and energy transfer of the gas bubble. The results indicate that the whole arc discharge process can be categorized into three successive stages: short-period oscillation, long-period oscillation, and quasi-steady state. The vapor inside the bubble can reach a supercritical state (827 K and 140 MPa) at the minimum bubble radius. The simulation shows that the light radiation absorption and the heat conduct loss through metal electrodes are the two dominant factors influencing the pulsation of the bubble, and further analysis indicates that the dynamic evolution of the arc determines the bubble pulsation mode. Our findings demonstrate why and how repetitive electrohydraulic shock waves can be generated by a single long pulse underwater arc discharge, providing a low-cost way of shock wave generator based on an AC/DC high-voltage power source.

Introduction: The emergence of electromagnetic wave pollution as a new form of pollution in human society is attributed to the advancements in communication technology and the electronic information business.

Evaluation of the coupling of EMACv2.55 to the land surface and vegetation model JSBACHv4

Abstract. We present the coupling of the Jena Scheme for Biosphere–Atmosphere Coupling in Hamburg version 4 (JSBACHv4) to the ECHAM/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC) model. With JSBACH, the soil water bucket model in EMAC is replaced by a diffusive hydrological transport model for soil water that includes water storage and infiltration in five soil layers, preventing soil from drying too rapidly and reducing biases in soil temperature and moisture. A three-layer soil scheme is implemented, and phase changes in water in the soil are considered. The leaf area index (LAI) climatology in EMAC has been substituted with a phenology module calculating the LAI. Multiple land cover types are included to provide a state-dependent surface albedo, which accounts for the absorption of solar radiation by vegetation. Plant net primary productivity, leaf area index and surface roughness are calculated according to the plant functional types. This paper provides a detailed evaluation of the new coupled model based on observations and reanalysis data, including ERA5/ERA5-Land datasets, Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) data and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite data. Land surface temperature (LST), terrestrial water storage (TWS), surface albedo (α), net top-of-atmosphere radiation flux (RadTOA), precipitation (precip), leaf area index (LAI), fraction of absorbed photosynthetic active radiation (FAPAR) and gross primary productivity (GPP) are evaluated in particular. The strongest correlation (r) between reanalysis data and the newly coupled model is found for LST (r=0.985, with an average global bias of −1.546 K), α (r=0.947, with an average global bias of −0.015) and RadTOA (r=0.907, with an average global bias of 3.56 W m−2). Precipitation exhibits a correlation with the GPCP dataset of 0.523 and an average global bias of 0.042 mm d−1. The LAI optimisation yields a correlation of 0.637 with observations and a global mean deviation of −0.212. FAPAR and GPP exemplify two of the many additional variables made available through JSBACH in EMAC. FAPAR and observations show a correlation of 0.663, with an average global difference of −0.223, while the correlation for GPP and observations is 0.564 and the average global difference is −0.001 kg carbon km−1. Benefiting from the numerous added features within the simulated land system, the representation of soil moisture is improved, which is critical for vegetation modelling. This improvement can be attributed to a general increase in soil moisture and water storage in deeper soil layers and a closer alignment of simulated TWS with observations, mitigating the previously widespread problem of soil drought. We show that the numerous newly added components strongly improve the land surface, e.g. soil moisture, TWS and LAI, while surface parameters, such as LST, surface albedo or RadTOA, which were mostly prescribed according to climatologies, remain similar. The coupling of JSBACH brings EMAC a step closer towards a holistic comprehensive Earth system model and extends its versatility.

High-performance ultra-simple solar absorber with extremely high tolerance for fabrication errors

Broadband metamaterial perfect absorbers have drawn considerable attention from researchers for a broad range of applications in electromagnetic stealth, solar energy harvesting and other fields. However, it is extremely challenging to integrate the excellent characteristics of ultra-broadband, perfect absorption, polarization independent, and insensitivity to wide incidence angles into a structurally simple absorber. Herein, we present an ultra-wideband solar perfect absorber with an ultra-simple structure, which consists of a Si3N4-Ti-Si3N4-Ti four-layer structure. The optimized structure offers more than 92 % absorption in the bandwidth range of 450–2750 nm, and the average absorption is up to 97.3 %. Moreover, we elaborate the physical mechanism to achieve the broadband perfect absorption. For solar thermal systems, the absorber is capable of absorbing 95.7 % of the sunlight, its blackbody radiation absorption is as high as 98.0 % at 1900 K and it has a photothermal conversion efficiency of 90.2 % at 1000 K. Furthermore, the absorber displays the characteristics of being independent of polarization and insensitive to wide incidence angles. Additionally, the absorber possesses a very high tolerance for manufacturing errors. It is shown that the designed absorber is ultra-simple in structure and excellent in performance, and has excellent application prospects in fields including solar thermal conversion.

Examining the Effects of Magneto Priming on Rice and Determination of Crop Indices from Absorption Spectrum for Ecological Yield

A magnetic field is a kind of therapy for plants that boosts plant health and plants immunity. I have considered rice samples and prepared those for therapy with the help of different fertilisers and soil quality is of prime concern. Plant biochemistry, structure, and photosynthetic pathway all have a major impact on radiation absorption in the photo synthetically active radiation (PAR) zone. Instruments are used to measure the effects of these traits on absorbed PAR, root and shoot length for determination of various parameters including Nitrogen nutrition index.The health of the crop depends on numerous factors including primary chlorophyll enhancement and regulation on behalf of its post-sown treatment for better yield in PB-41 and PB-06. In this paper, natural crop therapy is used which reduces the use of pesticides and urea which leads to less soil pollution and less water pollution in the agriculture sector and is environment friendly. By using this technique one can improve the nutritional values of crops. Results have been validated by MATLAB. Study reveals the investigation of the magnetization on rice before and after sowing. It shows that a magnetic field with controlled intensity is helpful to grow crops with better immunity and yield which requires less number of pesticides and less amount of urea to provide better outcomes which is environment and soil-friendly and helps the microorganisms to support productivity.

Adjusting microwave sensing frequency through aspect ratio variation and bending repetitions in Permalloy ellipses

The Ferromagnetic Resonance (FMR) phenomenon, marked by the selective absorption of microwave radiation by magnetic materials in the presence of a magnetic field, plays a pivotal role in the development of radar absorbing materials, high speed magnetic storage, and magnetic sensors. This process is integral for technologies requiring precise control over microwave absorption frequencies. We explored how variations in resonance fields can be effectively modulated by adjusting both the shape and stress anisotropies of magnetic materials on a flexible substrate. Utilizing polyethylene-naphthalate (PEN) as the substrate and Permalloy (Ni79Fe21, noted for its positive magnetostriction coefficient) as the magnetic component, we demonstrated that modifications in the aspect ratio and bending repetitions can significantly alter the resonance field. The results, consistent with Kittel’s equation and the predictions of a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy model, underscore the potential for flexible substrates in enhancing the sensitivity and versatility of RF-based magnetic devices.

Influence of Spotted Lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) on Multiple Maple (Acer spp.) Species Canopy Foliar Spectral and Chemical Profiles

Invasive species have historically disrupted environments by outcompeting, displacing, and extirpating native species, resulting in significant environmental and economic damage. Developing approaches to detect the presence of invasive species, favorable habitats for their establishment, and predicting their potential spread are underutilized management strategies to effectively protect the environment and the economy. Spotted lanternfly (SLF, Lycorma delicatula) is a phloem-feeding planthopper native to China that poses a severe threat to horticultural and forest products in the United States. Tools are being developed to contain the spread and damage caused by SLF; however, methods to rapidly detect novel infestations or low-density populations are lacking. Vegetation spectroscopy is an approach that can represent vegetation health through changes in the reflectance and absorption of radiation based on plant physiochemical status. Here, we hypothesize that SLF infestations change the spectral and chemical characteristics of tree canopies. To test this hypothesis, we used a full range spectroradiometer to sample canopy foliage of silver maple (Acer saccharinum) and red maple (Acer rubrum) trees in a common garden in Berks County, Pennsylvania that were exposed to varying levels of SLF infestation. Foliar spectral profiles separated between SLF infestation levels, and the magnitude of separation was greater for the zero-SLF control compared with higher infestation levels. We found the red-edge and portions of the NIR and SWIR regions were most strongly related to SLF infestation densities and that corresponding changes in vegetation indexes related to levels of chlorophyll were influenced by SLF infestations, although we found no change in foliar levels of chlorophyll. We found no influence of SLF densities on levels of primary metabolites (i.e., pigments, nonstructural carbohydrates, carbon, and nitrogen), but did find an increase in the phenolic compound ferulic acid in response to increasing SLF infestations; this response was only in red maple, suggesting a possible species-specific response related to SLF feeding. By identifying changes in spectral and chemical properties of canopy leaves in response to SLF infestation, we can link them together to potentially better understand how trees respond to SLF feeding pressure and more rapidly identify SLF infestations.

Characterization of Composite Film Containing Polyvinyl Alcohol Cross‐Linked With Dialdehyde Cellulose Using Citric Acid as a Catalyst for Sustainable Packaging

ABSTRACTThis study is aimed at fabricating composite films by cross‐linking polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) in varying ratios using citric acid as a catalyst. The acetal formation between the two components was studied using FTIR. Characterizations of the physiochemical properties revealed that increasing the DAC ratio of the composite film improved the hydrophobicity, tensile strength and barrier properties (water vapour, UV and oxygen) of the films while reducing elongation at break (flexibility), swelling and solubility of the film in water. When the DAC ratio was elevated to 50%, the tensile strength was enhanced to 98 MPa. In comparison, flexibility diminished to 29%, the solubility of the film reduced to 10% and water vapour permeability was lower by two orders of magnitude than that of the control PVA film. The peroxide value of linoleic acid decreased from 21.2% ± 7.6 (packed with PVA film) to 9.9% ± 0.9 (packed with 50% DAC composite film) after 15 days. Furthermore, the composite films demonstrated effective absorption of UV radiation, with the order of effectiveness being UV‐C > UV‐B > UV‐A radiation. No significant difference in biodegradability was detected in the composite films with an increase in DAC ratio during indoor soil burial tests for 30 days. This study implies that the composite film could serve as an alternative sustainable packaging option, especially when transparency and high oxygen barrier properties are desired.

Application of Cr2Si2Te6 saturable absorber in Er-doped fiber laser for generating dual-wavelength mode-locked pulse

As a typical two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic insulator (FI), the Cr2Si2Te6 (CST) has performance ferromagnetic properties. The previous investigation has shown that quantum mechanical simulation can get structure and electronic properties of CST, and the indirect gap value of CST is 0.6 eV by establishing its layered calculation. It implies that the CST is an excellent optical modulator due to larger infrared radiation absorption interval. Based on that, some groups conducted the research of fiber laser based on CST saturable absorber (SA). However, the exploration and application of 2D CST in optics is still in the early stage. In this investigation, the CST was utilized as a SA in an Er-doped fiber laser. The dual-wavelength mode-locked pulse could be observed when the pump power was adjusted from 25 to 140 mW. The CST was applied in Er-doped fiber as SA for generating dual-wavelength mode-locked pulse for the first time. It exhibits performance optical properties that provide a significant reference for exploring the application of 2D materials in ultrafast laser.

Metal-organic framework-derived carbon-supported high-entropy alloy nanoparticles applied in ammonia borane hydrolytic dehydrogenation

While high-entropy alloy nanoparticle (HEA NP) catalysts from a sacrificial high-entropy-MOF (HE-MOF) have been attractive, their conventional characterizations may be misleading. Here, we report HEA NPs on HE-MOF-derived carbon (HE-MDC) via direct pyrolysis of MnFeCoNiCu HE-MOF in Ar and H2 at different temperatures and durations with a fast-ramping rate. With the profound investigations of the metal NPs on HE-MDCs by synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction and absorption, we revealed that the Ar-treated HE-MDCs had either Cu-dominant solid solution or phase-segregated metal NPs, whereas H2 pyrolysis yielded well-dispersed HEA NPs on HE-MDCs. For ammonia borane hydrolysis, although the metal NP size in H2-treated HE-MDC was not the smallest, it showed the fastest dehydrogenation rate (TOF=5.76 molH₂∙min−1∙molcat-1), 2 ∼ 4 times faster than the Ar-treated HE-MDCs. It emphasized the crucial role of elemental uniformity in the HEA NPs over the traditionally reported catalyst size.

Infrared Lightwave Memory-Resident Manipulation and Absorption Based on Spatial Electromagnetic Wavefield Excitation and Resonant Accumulation by GdFe-Based Nanocavity-Shaped Metasurfaces.

An arrayed nanocavity-shaped architecture consisting of the key GdFe film and SiO2 dielectric layer is constructed, leading to an efficient infrared (IR) absorption metasurface. By carefully designing and optimizing the film system configuration and the surface layout with needed geometry, a desirable IR radiation absorption according to the spatial magnetic plasmon modes is realized experimentally. The simulations and measurements demonstrate that GdFe-based nanocavity-shaped metasurfaces can be used to achieve an average IR absorption of ~81% in a wide wavelength range of 3-14 μm. A type of the patterned GdFe-based nanocavity-shaped metasurface is further proposed for exciting relatively strong spatial electromagnetic wavefields confined by a patterned nanocavity array based on the joint action of the surface oscillated net charges over the charged metallic films and the surface conductive currents including equivalent eddy currents surrounding the layered GdFe and SiO2 materials. Intensive IR absorption can be attributed to a spatial electromagnetic wavefield excitation and resonant accumulation or memory residence according to the GdFe-based nanocavity-shaped array formed. Our research provides a potential clue for efficiently responding and manipulating and storing incident IR radiation mainly based on the excitation and resonant accumulation of spatial magnetic plasmons.

Evaluation of the protective properties and genotoxic potential of pyrazolo pyridine derivatives against neutron and gamma radiation using the Ames/Salmonella test system

Purpose Nuclear applications are being increasingly used in various fields, necessitating studies to protect from radiation hazards and their effects. In this study, five different chemical structures of pyrazolo [3,4-b] pyridine derivatives were synthesized. The gamma and neutron radiation protective abilities of these samples were determined and demonstrated their potential use as ingredients in radioprotective drugs. Material and methods Gamma radiation absorption parameters were calculated both theoretical and experimental. Important attenuation parameters for fast neutrons (4.5 MeV energy radiation) were figured out using the Monte Carlo simulation Geant4 code. Additionally, experimental dose rates were measured for each sample and compared to those of Paraffin and high-density polyethylene, an organic substance. Besides, Ames/Salmonella test system was aimed to detecting genotoxicity features of pyrazolo pyridine derivatives. Results All results demonstrated that each sample possesses both gamma and neutron radiation attenuation capabilities. It was determined that sample PPC4 (C20H14BrN5) exhibited the highest gamma radiation attenuation capacity among all samples, while sample PPC2 (C22H20N6) displayed an excellent neutron stopping capacity. The genotoxic properties of pyrazolo[3,4-b] pyridine derivatives were examined using the Ames/Salmonella test, and as a result, it was determined that these substances did not exhibit genotoxic effects at test doses up to 5 mM. Conclusion All obtained results indicate that all PPC (pyrazolo[3,4-b] pyridine derivatives) samples do not possess a toxic effect, and they can be utilized as an active substance for the development of a drug or cream with protective properties against both gamma and neutron radiations.
