Performance evaluation of an automotive thermoelectric generator with a non-isometric distributed fin heat exchanger

Abstract

A novel non-isometric distributed fin structure for a heat exchanger is proposed, which can effectively improve the thermoelectric generator's output performance.

Energy management strategy of a novel electric–hydraulic hybrid vehicle based on driving style recognition

“…Iterations of technologies and altering research methodologies are distinctive features of today's development in various elds. 1,2 With great demand for automobiles in today's modern society, the development level of the automobile industry has become an essential factor in evaluating a country's international competitiveness and economic status. In the context of global energy deciency and deteriorating ecological environment, electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and other new energy vehicles (NEVs) have gradually become the choice of public.…”

Performance optimization of a thermoelectric generator for automotive application using an improved whale optimization algorithm

“…Marvao et al 28 proposed three different heat exchangers inserted with plain, offset strip, or triangular fins and optimized their geometrical dimensions from the aspect of net output power. Wang et al 29 improved the temperature uniformity and output performance of a heat exchanger with non-isometric distributed fins by optimizing the fin distance increment; the simulated results show that the two performances were increased by 3.61% and 14.48%, respectively.…”
