Thermoelectrics and its Energy Harvesting, 2-Volume Set

This handbook brings readers up to date with advances in thermoelectrics and thermoelectric generators, as well as the advent of nanotechnology and the explosion of thermoelectric applications in energy harvesting. With practical applications throughout, it focuses on international efforts to reduce carbon emissions by using thermoelectric technology in automobile exhaust heat recovery. It highlights individual efforts by specific countries and agencies such as the use of thermoelectric generators to power the Mars Lander and convert hot water waste from Indian steel mills into useable electricity.
