Sentence examples for solar reflection from inspiring English sources

In addition, by decoupling emission in the atmospheric window (by the emitter) and solar reflection (by the direct-solar reflector and diffuse-solar reflecting cover), we relax the optimization constraints that can lead to significantly improved cooling performance.

All the while, a ceramic-fabric sunshade will be protecting Messenger from the ferocious heat of the nearby Sun and the solar reflection from Mercury.

He applied his knowledge of nanoscale manufacturing techniques that didn't exist decades ago to make something with optimum levels of thermal radiation and solar reflection.

Satellite technology allows scientists to localize clouds in 3-D and associate different cloud types with their amount of solar reflection.

Unlike previous spectrally selective approaches that need to rely on near-perfect solar reflection to achieve sub-ambient cooling, our work demonstrates that it is possible to reach below ambient temperatures even with commonly available materials.

Uruguayan Rafael Vinoly told the International Herald Tribune's Visionary Cities event that the likely problem with solar reflection – sending a beam of sunlight on to the road below for up to two hours a day – was spotted early in the design phase.

In recent years there has been a growing awareness of the risks posed to people and property from uncontrolled solar reflections from the built environment.

In this work, solar analyses using DIVA-for-Rhino were conducted on two typical Norwegian residential housing types, row houses and high-rise apartment blocks, to maximize their solar potential in an isolated scenario and to evaluate the contributions of indirect mutual solar reflections created by the urban surroundings.

Buildings thermal performance is influenced by the urban context, such as adjacent buildings shadows, block wind paths, or solar radiation reflection.

Our simulations show that for the textured heterojunction silicon solar cell, reflection losses are lower but parasitic absorption losses in the ITO and amorphous silicon layers play a more important role.

In this paper, various liquid prism configurations in terms of design (single, double, triple and quad-stacked prism arrays) as well as optical materials are considered and their impact on optical performance aspects such as solar beam steering, reflection losses and beam concentration is studied.
