Development of a numerical model to simulate thermofluid processes in a novel waste heat to electricity conversion system
EF 2010-11
Résumé
The project is focused on the development of three-dimensional numerical models to simulate fundamental
thermo-fluid processes in a novel system to produce electricity from the waste heat. A unique feature which
distinguishes this novel system from the conventional heat recovery systems, is its ability to extract heat at low
temperature range (i.e. 10C to 90C) and generate electricity. An understanding of these thermo-fluid processes
in the proposed system will allow for improvements to the component design and overall optimization of the
system performance.
