Thermoelectric cooling devices: thermodynamic modelling and their application in adsorption cooling cycles
… framework for modeling the solid state cooling devices namely thermoelectric cooler, the pulsed thermoelectric cooler, thin film thermoelectric device, and an electro-adsorption chiller (EAC) such that their performances can be analyzed and understood. Using the thermodynamic modeling …

Atmospheric Water Harvesting: An Experimental Study of Viability and the Influence of Surface Geometry, Orientation, and Drainage
… maximize water collection. Vapor compression and thermoelectric cooling based dehumidifier prototypes are tested in a series of experiments to assess water collection capability in foggy environments, and what parameters can increase that capability. This testing shows an approximate maximum …

Toward joint water-power electric grid modeling
… technology (i.e., prime mover), fuel source, cooling technology, and climate. By one estimate, 49\% of all U.S. water withdrawals are used for thermoelectric cooling, with the state of Illinois ranking second overall in terms of thermoelectric-cooling withdrawal. This work proposes the …

Liquid crystal adaptive planar optical devices
… using a combination of heating elements and thermoelectric cooling. Finally, LC compounds were then tested for suitability as waveguiding media. It was found that both hollow fiber and planar substrate systems using an LC as the core guiding medium successfully guided both visible and IR …

DEVELOPMENT OF A MICROSCALE ELECTROCHEMICAL PLATFORM FOR THE ANALYSIS OF THERMAL PROFILES OF IMMOBILIZED DNA SECONDARY STRUCTURES
… both refrigeration with resistive heating, and thermoelectric cooling and heating. The technology has also been adapted to examine other DNA secondary structures, such as G-quadruplexes, and the stabilization of these structures. The resulting analysis of such immobilized intramolecular …

Transverse Thermoelectric Effects for Cooling and Heat Flux Sensing
While thermoelectric technology has developed steadily over the last 50 years, transverse thermoelectrics have generally been ignored in the industrial and commercial uses of thermoelectric devices to date. This project focuses on investigating transverse thermoelectric effects for localized …

Avoided Water Cost of Electricity Generation for Solar PV and Wind Technologies in Southern California
… extraction (for coal, natural gas, and nuclear), thermoelectric cooling of power plants and emissions controls such as carbon capture and sequestration. Carbon capture and sequestration are estimated to almost double the water consumption costs of coal and natural gas power plants. Of the …

Experimentally validated multiscale thermal modeling of electronic cabinets
… cabinet and the test vehicle with hybrid cooling technique. The latter incorporated double-sided cooling with hybrid forced air convection, thermoelectric cooling, and micro-channel liquid cooling. The overall multi-scale modeling framework was able to reduced numerical models containing …

Evaluation of alternative cooling techniques for photovoltaic panels
… effect of applying tracking, concentration and cooling methods to improve the performance of the system is investigated. While using photovoltaic panels in the southeast Unites States has been judged less attractive than in other parts of the country owing to the humid climate and numerous …

Nanoscale thermal transport for biological and physical applications
… of a nanomaterial. The thermal transport during thermoelectric cooling is also an important property since thermoelectric devices are compact, reliable, easy to control, use no refrigerants and require lower maintenance than do more traditional refrigeration devices. We focus on the Thomson …
