We report a numerical renormalization-group study of the thermoelectric effect in the single-electron transistor (SET) and side-coupled geometries. As expected, the computed thermal conductance and thermopower curves show ...

Reducing energy consumption is mandatory in self-powered sensor nodes of wireless sensor networks that obtain all their energy from the environment. In this direction, one first step to optimize the network is to accurately ...

In this paper a comparative analysis of the environmental impact caused by the use of natural gas and diesel in thermoelectric power plants utilizing combined cycle is performed. The objective is to apply a thermoeconomical ...

Hole-doped [Ca2CoO3]0.62[CoO2] (Co349) thermoelectric materials were densified and textured by spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. Thin pre-sintered Co349 lamellar samples were used to process textured monoliths. The ...

The Sun is the main source of energy of the Earth’s atmosphere-ocean-land system. The technological society is highly depended on the solar energy converted and stored in reservoirs, such as oceans, rivers, winds, plants, ...

A computational study on combustion in annular porous media and thermoelectric generation was performed. The reactor was composed of two types of porous media where flame stabilization was reached at the interface of them. ...
