摘要
A parametric analysis is presented for the performance of a thermoelectric generator based on its operating conditions. The mathematical model, consisting of non linear equations, is made dimensionless to allow the characteristic parameters to be evidenced. The proposed parameterization lends generality to the results obtained. In particular the relationships have been investigated between the temperature difference inside the thermoelectric cell and that on the outside of the generator, and the effect of the outer thermal resistances of the generator on the working conditions. These parameters have a significant effect on the efficiency and therefore on the optimization of the operating conditions of the thermoelectric generator.
