Pulsed Heat Transfer for Thermal Maximum Power Point Tracking

This paper presents a new method for enhancing thermal energy harvesting via pulsed heat transfer. By acting as a variable thermal resistance that theoretically generates no entropy, a pulsed thermal connection allows calibration of the effective thermal resistance of an energy harvesting system. By...
