Passive sky radiative cooling systems, which utilize the universe as a natural heat sink, have emerged as a critical technology for providing low-carbon solutions to urban cooling. Surface downwelling longwave radiation (SDLR), originating from the …
Data centers consume enormous energy, presently reported up to 2% of the world’s electricity, with most of this energy then rejected into the atmosphere as waste heat. Meanwhile there is a global scarcity of safe drinking water. The UN states that …
This work presents an analytical method designed to quantitatively evaluate the spectral and vertical distribution of atmospheric longwave radiation (0 ∼ 2500 cm−1) under clear-sky (cloud-free) conditions. A multilayer plane parallel radiative model …
Telemetry sampling rates from enterprise servers and for IoT asset prognostic monitoring are often constrained by hardware limitations in physical transducers and A/D digitizing firmware, and by hardcoded firmware in data acquisition instrumentation. …
