Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

The usage of building energy accounts for 30–40% of total energy consumption in developed countries exceeding the amount for industry or transportation. Around 50% energy for building services is contributed by heating ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. More importantly both building and HVAC energy consumptions are predicted to increase in the next two decades. Windows are considered as the least energy-efficient components of buildings. Therefore smart windows are becoming increasingly important as they are capable of reducing HVAC energy usage by tuning the transmitted sunlight in a smart and favoured way: blocking solar irradiation on hot days while letting it pass through on cold days. Compared with other type of smart windows thermochromic windows have the unique advantages of cost-effectiveness rational stimulus and passive response. This book covers fabrication of vanadium dioxide–based smart windows discusses various strategies to enhance their performance and shares perspectives from the top scientists in this particular field. | Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

Titanic Corrosion

Titanic Corrosion

The word “titanic” reminds one of the majestic ship Titanic and James Cameron’s epic romance movie Titanic—in many cases the film first and the ship next. The Titanic was the world’s largest passenger ship when it entered service measuring 269 m (882 feet) in length and the largest man-made moving object on earth. The colossal ship and the epic movie inspired the authors Susai Rajendran (professor of chemistry) and Gurmeet Singh (a renowned academic administrator and an internationally reputed expert in the field of corrosion science and smart materials) to study why the Titanic collapsed. The main reason seems to be bimetallic corrosion also known as galvanic corrosion. This book discusses various aspects of galvanic corrosion namely causes consequences methods of control and case studies. It also reports research on the causes of corrosion of the sunken ship including microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) and metallurgical failure. The book is a great reference for research scholars in the field of corrosion graduate- and postgraduate-level students the general public and marine engineers. | Titanic Corrosion
