Effective conductivity of porous ceramics in a radiative environment

Sophia Haussener, Clemens Gregor Suter, Jérémy Raphaël Mora-Monteros

The knowledge of the effective thermal conductivity, taking into account conduction and radiation, is crucial for the accurate prediction of the thermal behavior of porous foams, especially in an environment where radiation is dominating. We present a comb ...

Global impact of mineral dust on cloud droplet number concentration

Athanasios Nenes

The importance of wind-blown mineral dust for cloud droplet formation is studied by considering (i) the adsorption of water on the surface of insoluble particles, (ii) particle coating by soluble material (atmospheric aging) which augments cloud condensati ...
