On the use of thermoelectric (TE) applications based on commercial modules: The case of TE generator and TE cooler
(Department of Physics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, GreeceDepartment of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Zorbas, K.Department of Physics, Aristotle University of ThessalonikiGreece, 2010)
In recent years, thermoelectricity sees rapidly increasing usages in applications like portable refrigerators, beverage coolers, electronic component coolers etc. when used as Thermoelectric Cooler (TEC), and Thermoelectric ...
Long-time Stability of Mg2(Si-Sn-Ge) - Based Thermoelectrics Under Large Temperature Gradient Conditions
(Elsevier Ltd, 2015)
We study the thermoelectric properties and stability of Mg2(Si-Sn-Ge) composite, prepared by a combination of ball milling process and heating treatment followed by Spark Plasma Sintering and densification. The goal of ...
Vibration Measurement of Occupational Exposed Workers, Experimental Quantification of the Individual Response Parameters for the Estimation of Uncertainty in the Vertical Direction
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2014)
The exposure of seated people to whole body vibration has been extensively researched and modelled during the past two decades. The trend is to use the average biodynamic responses. This paper investigates the relation of ...
Test-driven Coarray parallelization of a legacy Fortran application
(Affiliation: EXA High Performance Computing, Nicosia, CyprusAffiliation: Center for Computational Earth and Environmental Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, United StatesAffiliation: Combustion Research Facility, Sandia National Laboratories, Livermore, CA, United StatesAffiliation: Performance Research Laboratory, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR, United StatesAffiliation: UCY-CompSci, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, CyprusCorrespondence Address: EXA High Performance Computing, Nicosia, Cyprus, 2013)
This paper summarizes a strategy for parallelizing a legacy Fortran 77 program using the object-oriented (OO) and coarray features that entered Fortran in the 2003 and 2008 standards, respectively. OO programming (OOP) ...
Numerical simulations of turbulent flow in an eccentric annulus of unit eccentricity
(TSFP-9, 2015)
In this study, we perform Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of fully developed turbulent flows in eccentric annuli having different diameter ratios. Annuli of unit eccentricity, and diameter ratios of 0.2591 and 0.1395 ...
Low temperature synthesis and characterization of PbTe-based materials
(Affiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 75 Kallipoleos Avenue, 1678 Nicosia, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Papageorgiou, C.Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 75 Kallipoleos Avenue, 1678 Nicosia, Cyprus, 2012)
In the present work, PbTe and PbTe with Pb precipitates have been synthesized by low temperature synthesis. Selected materials were ball milled in order to explore the potential of this processing. The initial materials ...
Influence of processing conditions on the thermoelectric properties of La1-xSrxCoO3 (x=0, 0.05)
(Affiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 75 Kallipoleos Avenue, 1678 Nicosia, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Papageorgiou, C.Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 75 Kallipoleos Avenue, 1678 Nicosia, Cyprus, 2012)
La1-xSrxCoO3 (x=0, 0.05) powders were prepared using the citrate-gel (Pechini) process. Pellets formed from these powders were sintered at various temperatures. All samples were characterized by means of X-Ray Diffraction ...
Development of electrochemical nano-biosensors with distributed metal particles
(Affiliation: Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Applied Informatics, Technical University, Iasi, RomaniaAffiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Applied Informatics, Technical University, Iasi, Romania, 2013)
A new concept of hybrid nano-biosensors was developed based on well-defined methacrylic diblock copolymers and metal nanoparticles (Au and Pd). The nano-composite systems were used as surfactant for modified carbon electrodes. ...
Model complexity of a cantilever beam: An energy-based approach
(Dime University of Genoa, 2015)
The cantilever beam is a component widely used in numerous engineering systems with its geometric and material properties varying depending on the application. Calculating the dynamic behavior of a cantilever beam is a ...
