TY - JOUR AU - Ahmed, Tanvir AU - Novak, Xiaoming AU - Wang, Rahul AU - Karim, Sabbir TI - Thermoelectric Energy Conversion using Particle Swarm Optimisation JO - Open Access Journal of Engineering Applications PY - 2020 VL - 44 IS - 2 SP - 610 EP - 630 AB - Conventional approaches to wastewater treatment plants often treat thermoelectric energy conversion as a secondary consideration, at considerable cost. A comprehensive framework based on scanning electron microscopy is developed and applied to representative cases drawn from wastewater treatment plants. The findings confirm the first-order influence of thermoelectric energy conversion on overall system performance. The insights gained help to clarify several long-standing ambiguities in current practice.
