Study on Thermomagnetic Conversion of Low-grade Waste Heat into Electrical Power
This chapter presents a theoretical analysis based on the thermal modelling of a Curie wheel, which is used to convert low-grade waste heat into electrical power. It enables designers to better understand the thermal behaviour of a Curie wheel in steady-state operation. A stationary one-dimensional analytical thermal model based on a Lagrangian technique was created to achieve this goal. It enables the determination of the temperature distribution in a magnetocaloric material exposed to a periodic sinusoidal heat source throughout time. The impacts of several parameters (the nature of the magnetocaloric material, the nature and temperature of the fluid) were determined and analysed using this model.
