Design of a portable universal thermoelectric generator
Keywords:
heat and electricity source, thermoelectric generator, physical model, efficiencyAbstract
A physical and mathematical model of a portable universal thermoelectric generator designed to power low-power equipment, mobile and special communication systems, charge accumulators and lighting, and provide the civilian population in places where the energy infrastructure is destroyed, as well as in non-electrified areas, with minimal electrical energy is presented. The solution to simplified heat transfer problems in single-layer and multilayer structures in stationary and non-stationary conditions is considered. A computer model has been elaborated for developing the design of a portable universal thermoelectric generator, together with optimizing the thermoelectric material from which it is made, for various operating modes.
