A thermoelectric effect is a physical phenomenon consisting of the direct conversion of heat
into electrical energy (Seebeck effect) or inversely from electrical current into heat (Peltier …

Bismuth telluride-based compounds are the most common thermoelectric (TE) materials for
power generating systems, which can operate in the temperature range of 300–600 K. One …

Non-standardized forms of performance data is an issue designers encounter when dealing
with thermoelectric module manufacturers. To assess a product's performance, experimental …

The production of high-performing thermoelectrics is limited by the high computational
energy and time required by the current finite element method solvers that are used to …

Globally one third of energy consumption is attributable to the industrial sector, with up to fifty
percent ultimately wasted as heat. Waste heat is difficult to identify and evaluate both in …

Thermoelectric generator (TEG) is a promising technology for waste heat recovery. Typical
TEG module has a multi-material-layers sandwiched structure, in which the inherent inner …

The influence of thermal interface resistance is an important design problem for the
optimisation of heat transfer systems. For thermoelectric generators (TEG), it can limit the …

In this study, we show that the energy conversion efficiency in thermoelectric (TE) devices
can be effectively improved through simultaneous optimization of carrier concentration …

In the present work, the optimum design of thermoelectric car seat climate control (CSCC) is
studied analytically in an attempt to achieve high system efficiency. Optimal design of a …

Abstract In this study, Solar Thermoelectric Generator Assisted Water Pump (STEGWP) for
