Effect of Irreversibilities on the Performance of Thermoelectric Generator Investigated Using Exergy Analysis
For a practical thermoelectric generator (TEG) system, the performance is affected by many irreversible processes. This study evaluates the effects of multi-irreversibilities on TEG performance using exergy analysis. Based on the exergy analysis, two performance indexes, the energy efficiency and ex...
