Applications of the Thermoelectric Energy Harvester in Air Conditioning Condenser Unit
The devices that convert heat into usable electricity and use the three established thermoelectric effects known as the Peltier, Seebeck and Thomson effects are thermoelectric generators (TEG). These devices can generate power how long as there is a heat source. TEGs are made from thermoelectric modules and the cost of this modules is high, but the...

Applying Taguchi Method to Control the Thermal Expansion Effect on Machining Process of Aluminum Alloy Extruded Profile
In this paper we present a technological problem encountered in the machining accuracy of the parts for aerospace, made of aluminum alloy extruded profile with 7 meters length. Those parts have very tight tolerances and on milling process appears deviation due to thermal expansion effect, which influences the repeatability of machining processes. T...

Dielectric Properties of Pulsed Laser Deposited Nanoscale CeNi5 Films
Electronic properties of pulsed laser deposited, nanoscale CeNi5 alloy layers, on a dielectric substrate are described using the complex dielectric function. This spectral behavior is studied separately for the real part ε1 (the dielectric constant or dielectric permittivity) and imaginary part ε2 (the dielectric loss function) of t...

Influence of Green Living Roof on Urban Stormwater Management
The combined effects of climate change and rapid urbanization inflict a higher risk of flooding in urban areas. Urban storm water runoff results from rain, snow, sleet and other precipitation that lands on surfaces, such as roofs, parking lots, streets, sidewalks, and green infrastructure. Impervious surfaces are recognized as a major problem in ma...
