2. 1. Design of Thermoelectric Generators for Automotive EGR Applications

   Author : Olle Högblom; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Contact resistances; Exhaust gas heat recovery; Thermoelectrics; CFD;

   Abstract : 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). READ MORE

   Abstract : 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 here, is heat recovery from exhaust gases using thermoelectric generators. READ MORE

5. 3. Fabrication and Characterization of Silicon Carbide Power Bipolar Junction Transistors

   Author : Hyung-Seok Lee; Carl-Mikael Zetterling; Tat-Sing Chow; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; silicon carbide; power device; BJT; current gain; specific on resistance RSP_ON ; breakdown voltage; forward voltage drop; surface recombination; ohmic contact.; Electrical engineering; electronics and photonics; Elektroteknik; elektronik och fotonik;

   Abstract : Silicon carbide bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) are attractive power switching devices because of the unique material properties of SiC with high breakdown electric field, high thermal conductivity and high saturated drift velocity of electrons. The SiC BJT has potential for very low specific on-resistances and this together with high temperature operation makes it very suitable for applications with high power densities. READ MORE
