At the beginning of paper [1] there is an error that spreads along the rest of the work and the conclusions are not correct in their present form. Precisely, in Section 2, page 783, there is a contradiction related to the ...

The refrigeration process reduces the temperature of a space or a given volume while the power generation process employs a source of thermal energy to generate electrical power. Because of the importance of these two ...

Nowadays, geothermal energy in shallow hot dry rock fields is not exploited enough due to the high economic and environmental impact as well as the lack of scalability of the existing technologies. Here, thermoelectricity ...

The rise in the use of additive manufacturing highlights the importance of knowing the properties of the materials employed in this technology. Therefore, for the commercialization of thermal applications with this technology, ...

Generally, in the optimization of thermoelectric generators, only the heat exchangers or the thermoelectric modules themselves are taken into account. However, the assembly of the generator as a whole is of vital importance ...

During thermal design in the first phases development, thermoelectric systems, such as thermoelectric generators, the most important parameter affecting the performance is thermal resistance of the components. This paper ...

We consider the planar restricted N-body problem where the N−1 primaries are assumed to be in a central configuration whereas the infinitesimal particle escapes to infinity in a parabolic orbit. We prove the existence of ...

A computational model has been developed in order to simulate the thermal and electric behaviour of the thermoelectric generators. This model solves the non linear system of equations of the thermoelectric and heat transfer ...

Highly promoted by the European Union Climate and Energy Package for 2020, solar collectors stand out as the most promising alternative to meet water heating demands. One of the most limiting problems in these systems ...
