Energy conservation behavior: The difficult path from information to action.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat transfer in one-dimensional micro- and nano-cellular foams
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated heat transfer in one-dimensional multi-layer models of polymer foams and determined their equivalent thermal conductivities, i.e., combined heat transfer by conduction and radiation in both phases and partial photon reflection on phase interfaces, and found that although radiation can account for more than one-third of the total heat flux, it can be reduced in foam with cell-sizes below 100 μ m and be almost nullified by decreasing the foam cell size to sub-micron range.
Journal ArticleDOI
On thermal conductivity of micro- and nanocellular polymer foams
Sriharsha S. Sundarram,Wei Li +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a wide range of pore sizes from 1 nm to 1 mm were studied in conjunction with the porosity effect using finite element analysis and molecular dynamics simulation methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conjugate heat transfer through nano scale porous media to optimize vacuum insulation panels with lattice Boltzmann methods
Jesse Ross-Jones,Jesse Ross-Jones,Maximilian Gaedtke,Sebastian Sonnick,Sebastian Sonnick,Matthias Rädle,Hermann Nirschl,Mathias J. Krause +7 more
TL;DR: A new holistic approach provides a distinct advantage over similar porous media approaches by providing direct control and tuning of particle packing characteristics such as aggregate size, shape and pore size distributions and studying their influence directly on conduction and radiation independently.
Book ChapterDOI
Alternative Social Influence Processes Applied to Energy Conservation
TL;DR: The Arab Oil Embargo of 1973 first brought the energy crisis to the attention of the American public and the severity of the crisis increased throughout the 1970s, peaking in 1979 when a minor but sudden shortfall of fossil fuels made energy consumers acutely aware of the consequences of fluctuating supplies of foreign oil as discussed by the authors.
