Generalized theory of thermoelectric energy conversion for permeable thermoelements

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: A generalized theory of calculation of permeable thermoelements is presented, taking into account the dependences of the parameters of legs material on the temperature and current carrier concentration and changes in the conditions of heat transfer along the height of the leg. Methods for simulating the distributions of temperatures and heat flows in 1-D and 3-D dimensional models of a permeable thermoelement are described. The theory of calculating permeable thermoelements has been improved for the case of solving a multifactor optimization problem in order to achieve the maximum energy efficiency of thermoelectric energy conversion.
