Reduced Building Energy Consumption By Combined Indoor Co2 And H2o Composition Control, Anshuman Sinha, Harshul Thakkar, Fateme Rezaei, Yoshiaki Kawajiri, Matthew J. Realff

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Rapid growth in global energy consumption has raised concern on the environmental impacts such as ozone layer depletion and climate change. Enclosed space, such as commercial buildings, accounts for about 40% of global energy consumption and the demand is constantly increasing due to increasing population, urbanization, and economic development. The energy demands in the building sector calls for strategic measures to develop energy efficient technologies. This paper presents a strategy to decrease energy demands inside buildings by proposing a ventilation system which regulates the enclosed air quality resulting in reduced air conditioning.

Random Strain Induced Correlations In Materials With Intertwined Nematic And Magnetic Orders, W. Joe Meese, Thomas Vojta, Rafael M. Fernandes

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Electronic nematicity is rarely observed as an isolated instability of a correlated electron system. Instead, in iron pnictides and in certain cuprates and heavy-fermion materials, nematicity is intertwined with an underlying spin-stripe or charge-stripe state. As a result, random strain, ubiquitous in any real crystal, creates both random-field disorder for the nematic degrees of freedom and random-bond disorder for the spin or charge ones. Here, we put forward an Ashkin-Teller model with random Baxter fields to capture the dual role of random strain in nematic systems for which nematicity is a composite order arising from a stripe state. Using Monte …
