Fundamentals of Thermophotovoltaic Energy Conversion

Informationen zum Autor I began research on thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion in the late 1980’s. This early research concentrated on thick films of single crystal rare earth garnet selective emitters. Since then I have investigated other types of selective emitters and been a co-principal investigator on a NASA program to develop a radioisotope powered TPV system. Klappentext "Mathematica computer programs for calculating the optical properties of interference filters and for calculating the performance of a planar TPV system are included on a CD-ROM disk"--P. vii. Zusammenfassung Presents the fundamentals of thermophotovoltaic(TPV) energy conversion suitable for an upper undergraduate or first year graduate course. This textbook contains chapters that include a summary and conclude with a set of problems. Inhaltsverzeichnis Author's InformationAcknowledgementsPrefaceChapter 1. IntroductionChapter 2.
