Smart Glass and Its Potential in Energy Savings
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Smart glass is such that its properties may be changed by application of a potential across it. The change in properties may be engineered to alter the amount of heat energy that can penetrate the glass which provides ...
Cooling Systems for Power Plants in an Energy Water Nexus Era
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Potable water is becoming scarce in many areas of the planet as the human population pushes past 7 أ— 109. There is an increasing need for electric power since electricity is essential for modern development and progress. ...
Carbon Nanotubes Used for Renewable Energy Applications and Environmental Protection/Remediation: A Review
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Carbon nanotubes are surprisingly ubiquitous in their use for renewable energy applications as well as for environmental protection and remediation. Hence, this is the motivation for the current review, to investigate into ...
Review of World Urban Heat Islands: Many Linked to Increased Mortality
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Medical and health researchers have shown that fatalities during heat waves are most commonly due to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, primarily from heat's negative effect on the cardiovascular system. In an attempt ...
Nanoscience and Nanotechnology in Solar Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Energy is a big challenge in the coming years. The global population is increasing. Not only are there more people in the world, but the human drive to increase living standards have increased individual energy demands. ...
