Numerical investigation of heat transfer mechanism in an embedded PCM-TEG for better overall performance under the fluctuating heat source
Using phase change materials (PCM) can effectively ensure the stable operation of semiconductor thermoelectric generators (TEGs). Conventional PCM-TEG structures exhibit relatively poor output performance due to energy barriers caused by low thermal conductivity. The embedded PCM-TEGs proposed in th...
