TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the theoretical analysis and experimental validation on the transient behaviour of a proposed combined solar water heating and thermoelectric power generation system, which consists of concentrated solar thermal device that provides a high heat flux source for thermodelectric generators.

TL;DR: In this article, a base plate is extruded with the parallel channels, ridges, etc., extending across the width of the base plate parallel to the edge, and an additional ridge is provided, also parallel to an edge, for receiving a clamp or spring clip to urge the sink against the heat source.
Abstract: A heat sink has a base plate to be clamped against a heat source and one or more heat pipes containing a phase change fluid. Each heat pipe has an elongated tubular evaporator fitted in a channel in the base plate, and a columnar condenser part perpendicular to the base plate forming a structural column for air heat exchange fins. The channel in the base plate is parallel to an edge. An additional channel or ridge is provided, also parallel to the edge, for receiving a clamp or spring clip to urge the base plate against the heat source. The base plate is inexpensively extruded with the parallel channels, ridges, etc., extending across the width of the base plate parallel to the edge. The heat sink has a minimum number of inexpensive parts yet is highly thermally efficient.

TL;DR: In this article, two different heat pipe photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) systems, namely, wickless heat pipe PV/T system and wire-meshed heat pipe P2P system, were proposed and experimentally investigated in an Enthalpy Difference Laboratory with a solar simulator.

TL;DR: In this article, heat transfer through different model solid disperse systems is examined and functional relations permitting calculation of the effective heat conductivity of the system are established. But the authors did not consider the effect of the model on the system's performance.
