Passive radiative cooling (PRC) offers a highly promising, low-energy pathway to achieve sub-ambient temperatures by reflecting incoming solar radiation while emitting long-wave infrared radiation through the atmospheric infrared window. This review summarizes key aspects of PRC and its role in reducing UHI impacts. Furthermore the fundamental physics of heat transfer and radiative heat exchange, including the materials properties such as solar reflectance and thermal emissivity which are correlated with the figures of merit, temperature drop below ambient temperature and cooling power. A comprehensive classification of current PRC materials is presented based on both structural architectures and physical effects. Additionally an overview on measurement techniques are employed to determine the performance of PRC materials, focusing on the key performance indicators. For this purpose in-field as wells as laboratory measurement techniques are introduced and opportunities in standardizing testing protocols are highlighted. Finally, future research directions are outlined, focusing on novel material development, theoretical advancements, scalable fabrication processes, and integration strategies within urban infrastructures. These innovations are important for enhancing building energy efficiency, reducing urban heat stress, and promoting sustainable urban development in the face of climate change.}, language = {en} } @incollection{BlotevogelGoldlueckeEgermannetal., author = {Blotevogel, Thomas and Goldl{\"u}cke, J{\"u}rgen and Egermann, Jan and Leipertz, Alfred and Hartmann, Matthias and Schenk, Martin and Berckm{\"u}ller, Martin}, title = {Gemischbildungsuntersuchung in Gasmotoren mittels optischer Messverfahren, speziell in Wasserstoffmotoren}, series = {Gasfahrzeuge}, booktitle = {Gasfahrzeuge}, editor = {Dingel, Oliver}, publisher = {expert verlag}, address = {Renningen}, isbn = {3816924395}, publisher = {Hochschule f{\"u}r Angewandte Wissenschaften W{\"u}rzburg-Schweinfurt}, pages = {205 -- 229}, abstract = {Planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) has been successfully used for the investigation of the mixture formation process in hydrogen engines for passenger cars. Detailed information has been obtained about process development (qualitative measurement) and on fuel/air-ratio (quantitative measurement) inside the combustion chamber. These results can be used for further optimization of mixture formation and combustion process concerning emissions and fuel consumption. The measurement technique used is not only limited to hydrogen or to passenger car engines, but can also be applied to other fuel gases like natural gas or to other engine sizes like bus engines. The main topic of this paper is the experimental verification of the procedure which was executed by simultaneous PLIF and Raman scattering measurements. By Raman scattering the fuel/air-ratio can directly be determined from direct concentration measurements of the different gas species. The fuel/air-ratios determined by PLIF and Raman measurements are in good agreement indicating that a quantitative fuel/air-ratio measurement during the mixture formation process of gas and hydrogen engines is possible by PLIF. This fact is also confirmed by other measurements, e.g., global fuel/air-ratio calculated from measured intake air and fuel gas flow.}, language = {de} } @article{StrasserMoukhinaHartmann, author = {Strasser, Claire and Moukhina, Elena and Hartmann, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Time-Temperature-Transformation (TTT) Cure Diagram of an Epoxy-Amine System}, series = {Macromolecular Theory and Simulations}, volume = {33}, journal = {Macromolecular Theory and Simulations}, number = {6}, pages = {2400039}, language = {en} }
