Road Pavement Solar Collector (RPSC) is one of the inevitable products of the diversified development of pavement, which can reduce the temperature of the road surface to mitigate the urban heat island (UHI) effect. The arrangement of the heat pipes... Read More about Structural response analysis of road pavement solar collector (RPSC) with serpentine heat pipes under validated temperature field.

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is a phenomenon whereby urban areas become warmer than their surrounding rural areas, due to the replacement of vegetation and soil with built surfaces. The increase in urban temperatures can increase energy demand...
