Discrepancy between Constant Properties Model and Temperature-Dependent Material Properties for Performance Estimation of Thermoelectric Generators

Discrepancy between Constant Properties Model and Temperature-Dependent Material Properties for Performance Estimation of Thermoelectric Generators

The efficiency of a thermoelectric (TE) generator for the conversion of thermal energy into electrical energy can be easily but roughly estimated using a constant properties model (CPM) developed by Ioffe. However, material properties are, in general, temperature (<inline-formula><math disp...
