Experimental Evaluation of Innovative Thermal Energy Storage Options for a Hypersonic Non-Airbreathing Vehicle's Internal Loads
… of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) and a local coolant loop are investigated. The advantage of the former is that they transform waste heat into usable electricity, reducing the amount of thermal energy that needs to be stored by the heat sink. The advantage of the latter is that it results in a …
