Abstract:
Thermoelectrics emerge as a promising avenue for efficient energy conversion. This presentation delves into the fascinating world of thermoelectrics, materials that can directly convert heat into electricity and vice versa. We begin by exploring the fundamental principles underlying thermoelectric phenomena, including the Seebeck and Peltier effects. Finally, we explore the diverse range of applications of thermoelectrics, from waste heat recovery to cooling systems.

Exploring the Lagrange Points: Applications Beyond Imagination

Abstract:
My study will be based on three-body potential critical points that have an impact on how particles move. These points are in the gravitational acceleration-free region. These are referred to as Lagrange points. The Lagrange points are roughly perpendicular to the line connecting the centers. The balance of centrifugal and gravitational forces, which is dependent on the Coriolis acceleration, is what leads to these sites. The particles' angular momentum is set off by the Coriolis acceleration. Lagrange sites are commonly used to park spacecraft so that they can conduct observations afterward. I plan to include an introduction to the Lagrange points in my project, including a general description, the equation relating to the Lagrange points, etc. I will place a strong emphasis on current or potential Lagrange uses. A specific Lagrange point region can be used to quantify radiation exposure. The solar shield concept, a space magnetic spectrometer, and a data-transfer development for Mars could be the additional uses. There will also be a computation component for estimating the Lagrange points.
