Thermo-economic, exergetic and mechanical analysis of thermoelectric generator with hollow leg structure; impact of leg cross-section shape and hollow-to-filled area ratio
Filled square cross-section shape is the common conventional structure for n-type and p-type legs of thermoelectric generators. However, other cross-section shapes with hollow structure can significantly increase the output power of thermoelectric generator. However, mechanical strength and economic...
