Using dual mutation particle swarm method to optimize the variable cross-section of a thermoelectric generator based on a comprehensive thermodynamic model

The shape design for a thermoelectric generator (TEG) plays an important role in its performance. In this paper, a hyperbolic function was introduced to design a variable cross-section TEG module to optimize the configuration for maximum power generation and efficiency was sought. A comprehensive th...
