  A short survey for a thermo-ducted kitchen hood wasted heat self-powered 

  Arias Montenegro, Francisco Javier; Heras Jiménez, Salvador Augusto de las (ASME International, 2022-08-17)
  Article
  Open Access

  In this note, a brief survey is given to the possibility for a thermo-ducted kitchen hood where exhaust fan or other mechanical devices are no longer needed, and then, in addition, no sound is generated. The aim of this ...
