Powering a Cat Warmer Using Bi2Te3 Thin-Film Thermoelectric Conversion of Microprocessor Waste Heat

New thin-film materials offer potentially greater efficiencies when converting heat to electricity using the thermoelectric effect. Applied to microprocessors, this technology can mitigate a number of critical problems in one fell swoop: the dangerous amount of heat produced by laptops [14], [17], climate-change inducing electricity consumption [11], and unhappy house-cats that are insufficient...

Performance Analysis of Thermoelectric Based Automotive Waste Heat Recovery System with Nanofluid Coolant

Output performance of a thermoelectric-based automotive waste heat recovery system with a nanofluid coolant is analyzed in this study. Comparison between Cu-Ethylene glycol (Cu-EG) nanofluid coolant and ethylene glycol with water (EG-W) coolant under equal mass flow rate indicates that Cu-EG nanofluid as a coolant can effectively improve power output and thermoelectric conversion efficiency for...
