Numerical modelling of non-equilibrium condensation of carbon dioxide (CO2) in a converging-diverging nozzle (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Wen, C., Zhu, X., Yang, Y., Ding, H., & Yan, Y. (2020). Numerical modelling of non-equilibrium condensation of carbon dioxide (CO2) in a converging-diverging nozzle. In AIP Conference Proceedings 2293 (420077-1–420077-4). https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0027863

The condensing flow model is developed to predict the non-equilibrium condensation of CO2 in a converging-diverging nozzle using computational fluid dynamics modelling, which is expected to contribute to the carbon capture and storage. The numerical... Read More about Numerical modelling of non-equilibrium condensation of carbon dioxide (CO2) in a converging-diverging nozzle.

Performance comparison of thermoelectric generators with Extremum seeking control and incremental conductance MPPT methods (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Twaha, S., Zhu, J., & Yan, Y. (2017). Performance comparison of thermoelectric generators with Extremum seeking control and incremental conductance MPPT methods.

Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) are used for converting heat into electricity, environmentally friendly, without moving parts and with less complexity. One of the problems with TEG is that it has low efficiency and therefore it is necessary to harve...

Power conditioning of thermoelectric generated power using dc-dc converters: a case study of a boost converter
Conference Proceeding
Twaha, S., Zhu, J., & Yan, Y. (in press). Power conditioning of thermoelectric generated power using dc-dc converters: a case study of a boost converter.

The near exhaustion of non-renewable energy resources such as fossil fuels followed by disastrous climatic changes have alerted the world to invest in alternative energy sources. Thermoelectric (TE) technology is responsible for innovating TE devices...
