TL;DR: In this article, a numerical model is presented to predict the performance of a thermoelectric generator with the parallel-plate heat exchanger, which is based on an elemental approach.

TL;DR: In this article, the thermal conductivity properties of three types of carbon nanotubes-nanofluids with different CNTs added to de-ionized water were compared and analyzed experimentally.

TL;DR: In this article, the stability of fullerene C60 nanoparticles dispersed in a mineral oil and the lubrication properties of the nano-oil were investigated experimentally, and it was confirmed that the nanoparticles steadily suspend in the mineral oil at stationary conditions for a long period of time.

TL;DR: In this article, the optimal heat exchanger configuration of a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) system is investigated based on a developed mathematical model and the results reveal that the heat transfer area allocation ratio is an applicable characteristic of optimum design for TEC systems, and that the considerations and analysis results may provide guides for the design and application of practical TEC system in electronic cooling.
