Creation of Forced-Flow Thermoelectric Conversion That Integrated Cooling and Electrochemical Power Generation

Embedded Thermoelectric Devices for On-chip Cooling and Power Generation

Portable Power Generation via Integrated Catalytic Microcombustion-thermoelectric Devices

U.S. Army systems increasingly require novel methods of high density, fast charging power sources. In this study, a novel alternative to traditional batteries, catalytic microcombustors utilizing hydrocarbon fuels, are fabricated and characterized. These devices are found to be robust, easy to start up, operable over a wide range of compositions and temperatures, and able to support complete co...

Thermoelectric cooling of microelectronic circuits and waste heat electrical power generation in a desktop personal computer

Thermoelectric cooling and micro-power generation from waste heat within a standard desktop computer has been demonstrated. A thermoelectric test system has been designed and constructed, with typical test results presented for thermoelectric cooling and micro-power generation when the computer is executing a number of different applications. A thermoelectricmodule, operating as a heat pump,

Thermoelectric Power Generation by Clathrates

Clathrate compounds combine aesthetic beauty of their crystal structures with promising thermoelectric properties that have made them one of the most explored family of compounds deemed as base for thermoelectric generators for midand hightemperature application. This chapter surveys crystal and electronic structure and structure-related transport properties of selected types of clathrates and ...

Technical-economic analysis of the combined system power generation, production of fresh water and cooling production

In gas power plants, a lot of energy is lost in the form of heat more than the electricity produced. In the present research, techno-economic evaluation of combined power, desalination and cooling systems running by the exhaust flue gases of a gas turbine in Iran is performed. In addition to using power generated by the gas turbine, attempts were made to use Organic Rankine Cycle to recover the...
