摘要
A combined thermionic-thermoelectric generator is proposed in this paper. The thermoelectric generator makes use of the rejected heat from the anode of the thermionic generator, and produces additional electrical power. The combined generator system has both improved efficiency and power output. Optimization analysis of the combined generator is presented in this work. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
