Abstract In this study, the thermoelectric performance of an integrated thermoelectric device (iTED) with rectangular, round end slots, and circular flow
channel designs applied to waste heat recovery for several hot stream flow rates has been investigated using numerical methods. An iTED is
constructed with p- and n-type semiconductor materials bonded to the surfaces of an interconnector with flow channels drilled through it. This
interconnector acts as an internal heat exchanger directing waste heat from the hot stream to thermoelectric elements. The quantity of heat extracted
from the waste heat source and the subsequent amount of electrical power generated P0 from… More >
