“…On the other hand, angle of attack is the most important parameter which causes the pressure drop in the heat sink. On the other hand, Chen et al have optimized the efficiency of the thermoelectric generator using Taguchi method [16]. The orthogonal array of L25 5 6with six design parameters namely external load resistance, hot side temperature, thickness and height of fins as well as length and width of the heat sink is used in the optimization process.…”

A B S T R A C TFuel cells directly convert chemical energy into electrical power using electrochemical reactions. Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is one of the high-temperature fuel cells that propose a promising future from the standpoint of power generation. In this study, optimization of an SOFC system is performed using Taguchi approach after verification of the model in compare with experimental results. Current density, inlet temperature of SOFC, and utilization factor are considered as input parameters and the electrical power is selected as the output response. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) results indicate that the current density is the most effective parameter on electrical power which has 52% of contribution followed by inlet temperature of SOFC and utilization factor by 25 and 20% of contributions, respectively. The electrical power enhances by increasing current density and inlet temperature of SOFC and reducing utilization factor. Signal to noise ratio (S/N) analysis elucidate that the current density of 9500 A/m 2 , the inlet temperature of SOFC of 850 °C, and the utilization factor of 75% is the optimum condition in order to achieve the highest electrical power. The results show that the electrical power is 644.3 kW at the optimum condition.

In this paper, the effect of longitudinal vortex generators (LVGs) on the performance of a thermoelectric power generator (TEG) with a plate-fin heat exchanger is investigated. A fluid-thermal-electric multi-physics coupled model for the TEG is established on the COMSOL ® platform, in which the Seebeck, Peltier, Thomson, and Joule heating effects are taken into account. The equivalent thermal-electrical properties of the thermoelectric (TE) module are used in the numerical simulation. The results indicate that the LVGs produce complex three-dimensional vortices in the cross section downstream from the LVGs, thus enhancing the heat transfer and electric performance compared to a TEG without LVGs. Under baseline operating conditions, the heat input and open circuit voltage of the TEG with LVGs are increased by 41%-75% compared to a TEG with smooth channel. The simulations also show that the Reynolds number and hot-side inlet temperature have significant
