Abstract
In order to further studies on thermoelectric generators, an analysis of th e influence of fluid flow rate, heat exchanger geometry, fluid properties a nd inlet temperatures on the power supplied by the thermoelectric generator has been done. Different expressions and graphs showing this influence are shown in this paper, in order to give some practical guidelines for the th ermoelectric generators design. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
