摘要: Abstract The thermal contact can influence the output performance of thermoelectric generators. However, in some applications, heat source cannot afford an enough heating area for contact. Therefore, compact generators based on optimized interface should be designed and developed. In this paper, three-dimensional extensional structures are designed, simulated, implemented tested to optimize result indicates that reduce requirement make flow directionally transferred modules along structure. only 3600 mm 2 area, structure generate 5.58 V 829 mW within 900 s.
