People generate lots of waste heat. It makes sense that there is a desire to convert that heat into usable energy. The problem is one of efficiency. Researchers from MIT and the National Renewable ...

This study was led by Prof. Xiaoqing Gao (Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources， Chinese Academy of Sciences) and Prof. Yaoming Ma (Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, Chinese ...

Researchers at MIT have built a highly efficient thermophotovoltaic cell that, when paired with renewable resources, efficiently converts incoming photons—particles of light—to electricity. It’s an ...

MIT says its new solid-state thermophotovoltaic heat engine can harvest more energy from heat than the average steam turbine, at a fraction of the cost and using no moving parts. Huge implications for ...

The engine works by taking heat from the hot reservoir, converting some of it into useful work, and rejecting the remaining heat to the cold reservoir. The thermodynamic cycle followed by the engine ...

Dongfeng Motor has publicly released comprehensive technical details for its Mach 1.5T hybrid gasoline engine, which the company reports achieved a maximum thermal efficiency of 48.09 per cent.

The Department of Energy recognized the Cummins SuperTruck II team for pioneering research and development in heavy-duty diesel engine technology, and achieving 55% brake thermal efficiency (BTE) from ...

(brief explanation) the monthly variation in the atmospheric heat engine efficiency on the QTP for May to September from 2000 to 2020. The atmospheric heat engine efficiency from May to September ...
