Application of Porous-Embedded shell and tube heat exchangers for the Waste heat Recovery Systems

Mohammad Hossein Zolfagharnasab et al.

Summary: This study numerically investigates several porous-filled shell and tube heat exchangers (STHXs) and finds that porous filling can improve heat transfer performance and achieve a homogeneous thermal distribution, but it also increases pressure loss. Partially porous-filling is suitable for low-scale applications.

Water-Cooled Thermoelectric Generators for Improved Net Output Power: A Review

Bjoern Pfeiffelmann et al.

Summary: Thermoelectric generators are able to convert waste heat into electrical energy, but have not achieved broad commercial success due to low efficiency. Research on materials and system connections is crucial to improve efficiency and economic viability. Active cooling, especially in water-cooling, is preferred over passive cooling to increase net output power and exploit the full potential of TEGs.
