3. Thermoelectric generator design

Modeling a thermoelectric generator requires describing the entire chain, including a hot source, a cold source, a set of thermoelectric modules and heat exchangers between the sources and modules. As heat sources in industrial applications are mostly fluids (gases or liquids), it is necessary to interface fluid dynamics equations, heat transfer equations and thermoelectric equations.

3.1 Modeling thermoelectric modules

Different approaches can be considered:

  • microscopic modeling of thermoelectric effects using the Onsager formalism described in
