Thermoelectric modules are receiving more and more attention due to the increasing interest in the energy harvesting sector. The selection of the proper module for a particular application can be done comparing the values of the figure of merit, which depend on electrical parameters such as internal electrical resistance and Seebeck voltage, and the equivalent thermal resistance. Despite its importance,...
This paper presents the study and modeling of a thermoelectric generator module, type TG 100. The identification of TEG's main parameters are presented. The method used is experimental and combined with a FEMM simulation. For the first time the main thermal parameters are measured and the results are compared with the simulation results and catalog data. After analyzing the measured data, results...
Cooling is important to keep the temperatures of the highly integrated silicon electronic devices and power devices e.g. power MOSFET, IGBT. Yamaguchi et al. have proposed a new scheme to cool down the devices by its own current named ldquoself-cooling devicerdquo, in which the cooling process uses Peltier effect. In the proposed scheme, we should use the materials that have high thermal conductivity,...
In this study, we fabricated in-plane thermoelectric micro-generators (4 mm times 4 mm) based on bismuth telluride thin films by using flash evaporation method. The thermoelectric properties of as-grown thin films are lower than those of bulk materials. Therefore the as-grown thin films were annealed in hydrogen at atmospheric pressure for 1 hour in a temperature range of 200 degC. to 400degC. By...
