This paper presents the prototype design, implementation and testing of a thermoelectric generator unusually applied to fireplace stoves. The tested low-cost can be used as an alternative low source electricity in areas with limited access public networks. Moreover, inclusion stove structure is novelty interesting accessory offer for customer. study focuses on determining output values voltage ...

Abstract The present work performs a numerical analysis of the geometrical investigation two-dimensional channel with two alternated isothermal rectangular blocks subjected to turbulent forced convective flows. Constructal Design associated Exhaustive Search is used investigate influence geometry over performance cooling flows in multi-objective viewpoint, i.e., considering pressure drop and he...

The Project manager for PG&E is Lance Elberling (with the assistance of Marshall Hunt). The authors would like to t...

This paper presents a review of recent photovoltaic cooling technologies and techniques used to reduce the negative impact increased temperature enhance production electricity by (PV) modules. Various methods are reviewed; namely, Thermoelectric cooling, PV with phase change materials (PCM) nanofluids, systems cooled forced water circulation, immersion technique, heat sinks, solar spraying. Sev...

Light shelves provide a function to control direct sunlight and introduce daylight into indoor spaces. Also, chilled water flowing in the light shelf can mitigate local cooling demands perimeter zones. Therefore, this study, thermally activated (TALS) system was proposed, TALS’s radiative capacity evaluated. To do this, mock-up chamber developed using prototypes of TALS systems based on panel c...

This paper presents experimental results of an inherently safe liquid cooling system. A test rig is operated at Hamburg University of Technology in order to prove the concept and gather first data for electronics cooling in modern civil aircraft. The cooling system uses a dielectric working fluid for the natural circulation in a looped thermosyphon operating in both oneand two-phase mode. First...

Forced-convection boiling was investigated with a dielectric coolant (FC-72) in order to address some of the practical issues related to the two-phase cooling of multichip modules. The module used in the present study featured a linear array of nine, 10 x 10 mm, simulated microelectronic chips which were flush-mounted along a 20mm wide side of a rectangular channel. Experiments were performed w...
