Thermal Performance and Power Estimation of Aerogel System

​

This experiment demonstrates the application of aerogel in a thermoelectric cooling system using a Peltier module immersed in water. Aerogel is utilized as a thermal insulation material to minimize heat loss, maintain temperature stability, and improve the overall efficiency of the cooling process.

​

During the test, temperature data was continuously monitored and recorded to generate performance curves that reflect the thermal behavior of the system over time. The collected data enables the calculation of the system’s power output, providing a quantitative evaluation of the aerogel’s contribution to thermal management and energy efficiency.

​

The results show that aerogel can significantly enhance thermal performance by reducing heat transfer and maintaining a stable temperature gradient, which is essential for improving the efficiency of thermoelectric applications. This study highlights the potential of aerogel for advanced thermal management and energy-related technologies.
