Both full and simplified analysis of the electrical generating system consisting of a TEG, a heat source and a heat sink is presented. For ease of use the system is represented as an active twoterminal, which includes a voltage source and a non-linear temperature dependent resistor. The key role of the heat removal in the system and its influence on the values of the output parameters is shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
