Existence and Analysis of a Rotating Stall Inception Continuum & Development of Concept Questions in Fluid Dynamics by Cherry, Maranda F.

“…The results show (i) the dependence of stall inception on the compressor axisymmetric pressure rise characteristic and the characterization of mode and spike stall inception as two paths, located at the ends of a continuum of possible paths to stall. (ii) the effect of blade passage accelerations and asymmetry in the onset process, and (iii) the divergence of stall inception from two-dimensionality as a function of the slope of the total-to-static compressor pressure rise characteristic. …”

Experimental study for evaluating the performances of thermoelectric generator under steady-state and dynamic conditions by Chiang, Trevor Kai Teng

“…Thermoelectric generator (TEG) is a device that converts heat into electricity by the amalgamation of Seebeck, Joule and Thomson effects plus heat conduction between two ends of a thermoelectric device. The first thermoelectric effect discovered by Thomas Johann Seebeck in 1821 brought about further development and studies of thermoelectricity and thus, the invention of today’s TEG. …”
