ISBN: 3527413510
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 803
Book Description
This new up-to-date edition of the successful handbook and ready reference retains the proven concept of the first, covering basic and advanced methods and applications in infrared imaging from two leading expert authors in the field. All chapters have been completely revised and expanded and a new chapter has been added to reflect recent developments in the field and report on the progress made within the last decade. In addition there is now an even stronger focus on real-life examples, with 20% more case studies taken from science and industry. For ease of comprehension the text is backed by more than 590 images which include graphic visualizations and more than 300 infrared thermography figures. The latter include many new ones depicting, for example, spectacular views of phenomena in nature, sports, and daily life.

Solar Heating, Radiative Cooling and Thermal Movement
Author: William C. Cullen
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Radiation
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
Twenty different built-up roof construction specimens, covered with five surfacing materials, were subjected to natural solar heating and nighttime cooling.The temperatures and temperature changes observed during winter and summer exposures are discussed.The data indicate that the temperature attained in a roof membrane is influenced by the absorptance and emissivity of the surface as well as the thermal and physical properties of the substrate to which the roofing is applied. The data show that roofings placed over insulation may be heated to a temperature of 80F. above ambient due to solar heating and may be subcooled as much as 20F. below the ambient due to radiative cooling.The thermal movements which occur in the components of a roof system due to temperature change are discussed in relation to built-up roof performance and failures.(Author).

Radiative Forcing of Climate Change
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309133505
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Changes in climate are driven by natural and human-induced perturbations of the Earth's energy balance. These climate drivers or "forcings" include variations in greenhouse gases, aerosols, land use, and the amount of energy Earth receives from the Sun. Although climate throughout Earth's history has varied from "snowball" conditions with global ice cover to "hothouse" conditions when glaciers all but disappeared, the climate over the past 10,000 years has been remarkably stable and favorable to human civilization. Increasing evidence points to a large human impact on global climate over the past century. The report reviews current knowledge of climate forcings and recommends critical research needed to improve understanding. Whereas emphasis to date has been on how these climate forcings affect global mean temperature, the report finds that regional variation and climate impacts other than temperature deserve increased attention.

Urban Overheating - Progress on Mitigation Science and Engineering Applications
Author: Michele Zinzi
Publisher: MDPI
ISBN: 3038976369
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
The combination of global warming and urban sprawl is the origin of the most hazardous climate change effect detected at urban level: Urban Heat Island, representing the urban overheating respect to the countryside surrounding the city. This book includes 18 papers representing the state of the art of detection, assessment mitigation and adaption to urban overheating. Advanced methods, strategies and technologies are here analyzed including relevant issues as: the role of urban materials and fabrics on urban climate and their potential mitigation, the impact of greenery and vegetation to reduce urban temperatures and improve the thermal comfort, the role the urban geometry in the air temperature rise, the use of satellite and ground data to assess and quantify the urban overheating and develop mitigation solutions, calculation methods and application to predict and assess mitigation scenarios. The outcomes of the book are thus relevant for a wide multidisciplinary audience, including: environmental scientists and engineers, architect and urban planners, policy makers and students.
