1. Magnetic Refrigeration for Near Room-Temperature Applications
Sammanfattning : Refrigeration plays a crucial role in many different sectors and consumes about 17% of the electricity produced globally. This significant energy consumption implies large share of refrigeration in primary energy consumption and other environmental impacts. LÄS MER
2. Growth and thermoelectric properties of CaMnO3-based thin films
Sammanfattning : The field of them1oelectrics started in early 19th century. Since the discovery of the Seebeck effect and the Peltier effect, thermoelectric modules have found their way into, mostly, niche applications such as radioisotope thermoelectric generators on space missions. LÄS MER
3. Design of Thermoelectric Generators for Automotive EGR Applications
Sammanfattning : Rising energy prices and greater environmental awareness along with stringent emissions legislation in the automotive industry make it possible to introduce techniques in the aftertreatment system that have previously been unprofitable. One such technique, studied in this work, is heat recovery in the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler using thermoelectric generators (TEG). LÄS MER
4. Design of Transition-Metal Nitride Thin Films for Thermoelectrics
Sammanfattning : Thermoelectric devices are one of the promising energy harvesting technologies, because of their ability to convert heat (temperature gradient) to electricity by the Seebeck effect. Furthermore, thermoelectric devices can be used for cooling or heating by the inverse effect (Peltier effect). LÄS MER
5. Experimental studies on the mechanisms and treatments of chronic pain
Sammanfattning : Chronic pain is a major concern for physical and mental health of a large patient population today while casting a significant economical burden on society. Work presented in this thesis deal with aspects of mechanisms and treatments of chronic pain using experimental models. LÄS MER
