*007*#/These questions are In regards of radiative cooling and it's materials etc : please answer in Yes or no. Please explain the detail:P.S: R.C means Radiative cooling:: and I am talking about subambient temperatures achievements::
Q1. Is passive radiaitve cooling 90% dependent on materials only right? Yes or no? Like no external voltages or energy required right? No other mechanisms?
Q2. The Prc principle is radiaitve heat exchange , where heat from surface dissipated in space via atmospheric window leading to cooling of surface due to heat loss , and subambient temp because the surface emits more heat then it absorbs. is the 100% right? Or am i missing something??. Can this phenomenon really reduce temp to 10-15 Celsius? Yes or no? How? Does this happen in real life?Could u give a daily life example of such a similar phenomenon? / give real life analogy where it happens .
Q3. Why absorptivity Important for IR emissivity in R.C ? True or false , why ?(While absorptivity is undesirable for
a cooler it's essential for a material to absorb heat so as to emit it efficiently as IR,,, eg. Carbon black) is this reasoning right? Isn't r.c main property to reflect solar ? So isn't this contradictory and can hinder cooling??? Yes or no?
Q4. Are/ Do ceramics (Ceramics are one of the oldest materials used for radiative cooling ) have high solar reflection and IR emissions? Thus they are used?
Q5. Why does putting a dielectric (insulator ) between metal layers in a multilayer structured radiative cooler improve cooling performance? Plz explain in detail
Q6. How do photonic structures like nanophotonics, microstructures etc help improve IR emission / Solar reflctivity? What is the physics behind it? And does this help improve IR and reflectivity which consequentially improves R.C?? Yes or no?
