Thermogalvanic cell displaying the elements making up the cell. In electrochemistry, a thermogalvanic cell is a kind of galvanic cell in which heat is employed to provide electrical power directly. [1] [2] These cells are electrochemical cells in which the two electrodes are deliberately maintained at
Thermo Fisher Scientific's previous headquarters in Waltham, Massachusetts Thermo Fisher Scientific office in Canada. Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. is an American life, science and clinical research company. It is a global supplier of analytical instruments, clinical development solutions, specialty diagnostics, laboratory, pharmaceutical and ...
Every human activity, transport and industrial process generates waste heat, being possible to harvest residual energy from cars, aircraft, ships, industries and the human body. [1] From cars the main source of energy is the exhaust gas. [32] Harvesting that heat energy using a thermoelectric generator can increase the fuel efficiency of the car.
On May 27, 2016, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. announced [9] its acquisition of FEI Company for US$4.2 billion, which commenced in early 2017. [10] At the time of the transaction, FEI had more than 2700 employees in over 20 countries. [11] The FEI trademark was phased out in favor of the Materials & Structural Analysis division of Thermo Fisher ...
Agilent Technologies was created in 1999 as a spin-off of several business units of Hewlett-Packard [12] including test & measurement, optics, instrumentation and chemical analysis, electronic components, and medical equipment product lines.
A Johnson thermoelectric energy converter or JTEC is a type of solid-state heat engine that uses the electrochemical oxidation and reduction of hydrogen in a two-cell, thermal cycle that approximates the Ericsson cycle. [1] It is under investigation as a viable alternative to conventional thermoelectric conversion.
[1] After graduating from Northeastern University in 1959 John Hatsopoulos [2] (brother of George) later joined the company as Financial Controller. Arvin Smith joined the company in 1970, and was President from January 1998. [3] On May 14, 2006, Thermo and Fisher Scientific announced that they would merge in a tax-free, stock-for-stock exchange.
At the atomic scale, a temperature gradient causes charge carriers in the material to diffuse from the hot side to the cold side. This is due to charge carrier particles having higher mean velocities (and thus kinetic energy) at higher temperatures, leading them to migrate on average towards the colder side, in the process carrying heat across the material.
