Analysis and efficiency of a gadolinium magnetocaloric material plateBotoc, Dorin (Avtor) Rusu, Ionut-Bogdan (Avtor) Plesca, Adrian (Avtor) Avsec, Jurij (Avtor) gadolinium platemagnetocaloric effectmagnetic flowenergetic efficiencyIn this article, the influence of a controlled magnetic field on gadolinium plates was modelled and simulated to be used in magnetic refrigeration installations. This is a state-of-the-art technology that does not use refrigerants and does not work based on vapour compression, which is based on the operation of the magnetocaloric properties of the material used; in the case below, this material, in the form of a flat plate, has certain magnetocaloric properties and under the influence of magnetic induction can be used successfully in such innovative installations. The advantages of using gadolinium in the form of a flat plate in a magnetic regenerator and thermal energy dissipation on its surface under the controlled magnetic field's influence were studied.Fakulteta za energetiko Univerze v Mariboru20202023-12-04 08:33:20Znanstveno delo86456UDK: 537COBISS_ID: 57819395ISSN pri članku: 1855-5748sl
