Passive pumping, evaporation based system for multiscale thermal management

Drawing from the lessons of plant transpiration, this dissertation explores a biomimiced system for fluid transport and thermal regulation. This system utilizes evaporation and benefits from the associated passive pumping with an application of a rooftop solar radiation barrier in mind. By directing...
