Equivalent parameters for series thermoelectrics
Y. Apertet, H. Ouerdane, C. Goupil +1
We study the physical processes at work at the interface of two thermoelectric generators (TEGs) thermally and electrically connected in series. We show and explain how these proce…

Internal convection in thermoelectric generator models
Y. Apertet, H. Ouerdane, C. Goupil +1
Coupling between heat and electrical currents is at the heart of thermoelectric processes. From a thermal viewpoint this may be seen as an additional thermal flux linked to the app…

Efficiency at maximum power of thermally coupled heat engines
Y. Apertet, H. Ouerdane, C. Goupil +1
We study the efficiency at maximum power of two coupled heat engines, using thermoelectric generators (TEGs) as engines. Assuming that the heat and electric charge fluxes in the TE…
