Tag: magnetocaloric material

A thermohydraulic characterization of a reciprocating room temperature active magnetic regenerator was numerically carried out in this chapter, using gadolinium particles as a magnetocaloric material and water as a heat transfer fluid. For varying water inlet velocities of 0.06, 0.08, 0.1, and 0.12 m.s -1, a two-dimensional transient flow...

This chapter presents a theoretical analysis based on the thermal modelling of a Curie wheel, which is used to convert low-grade waste heat into electrical power. It enables designers to better understand the thermal behaviour of a Curie wheel in steady-state operation. A stationary one-dimensional analytical thermal model based...
