A magnetocaloric heat pump works by changing the magnetic field applied to a magnetocaloric material, while pumping fluid to move heat. Slaughter explained that this is typically done with permanent ...

The researchers conducted a case study on a solid oxide fuel cell system deployed in a nearly zero-energy single-floor villa with a size of 80 m2 located in southern Italy. They found that, in ...

These evaluations were intended to find ways to increase the power density of the proposed heat pump system, with the scientists seeking to optimize magnetic field sources and AMR geometries while ...
