摘要: A considerable difference between experimental and theoretical results has been observed in the studies of segmented thermoelectric generators (STEGs). Because simplicity, approximate methods are widely used for design optimization STEGs. This study is focused on employment exact method STEGs comparison results. Thus, using new highly efficient materials, four proposed to operate temperature range 300 1300 kelvins. The optimally designed achieve maximum efficiency. Design performance characteristics optimized including conversion efficiency length elements calculated through both methods. indicates that can cause a up 20% calculation some despite its appropriate calculation. also show 23.08% achievable Compatibility factor selected materials negligible compatibility factor, reduced (temperature independence efficiency).
