A Way to Use Waste Heat to Generate Thermoelectric Power

Waste Heat to Power Systems

Waste heat to power (WHP) is the process of capturing heat discarded by an existing industrial process and using that heat to generate power (see Figure 1). Energyintensive industrial processes—such as those occurring at refineries, steel mills, glass furnaces, and cement kilns—all release hot exhaust gases and waste streams that can be harnessed with wellestablished technologies to generate el...

Fabrication and thermoelectric properties of eco-friendly silicides for thermoelectric power generation using waste heat

Adsorption Refrigeration - an Efficient Way to Make Good Use of Waste Heat and Solar Energy

This paper presents the achievements in solid sorption refrigeration prototypes obtained since the interest in sorption systems was renewed at the end of the 1970s. The applications included are ice making and air conditioning. The latter includes not only cooling and heating, but also dehumidification by desiccant systems. The prototypes presented were designed to use waste heat or solar energ...

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,

A Novel Way to Generate Fractals

1. INTRODUCTION. For more than twenty years, fractals have intrigued mathematicians and nonmathematicians alike due to their inherent beauty and widespread appearance in nature and computer graphics. Intuitively, a fractal is a geometric object with intricate detail on an arbitrarily small scale and some measure of self-similarity. Formally, a fractal is a metric space with topological dimensio...
