A water-cooled, stove-powered thermoelectric generator was designed and tested to
provide electricity in off-grid areas and under emergency conditions. An Ω-shaped heat …

Almost three billion people rely on biomass stoves for their basic domestic needs such as
cooking, heating and lighting, leading to indoor air pollution (IAP) and health risks …

A compact water-cooled thermoelectric generator (TEG) based on a portable gas stove was
designed and analyzed to supply electricity in off-grid scenarios. The TEG incorporates a …

The current theory of thermoelectric generators can only deal with situations where a
thermoelectric generator operates under a constant temperature difference. In this paper, a …

Thermoelectric generators are usually designed and optimized by finite element analysis.
For accurate analysis, it is significant to establish a real-sized three-dimensional model of …

Amid energy crises and environmental concerns, thermoelectric generators have gained
interest as eco-friendly power sources by directly converting heat to electricity. Given the …

This paper presents a transient simulation model based on the coupling of electric
conduction and heat transfer in order to (1) quantify the conversion efficiency enhancement …

The performance of a thermoelectric generator, among other aspects, depends on the use of
an effective heat sink. While forced cooling using either air or water (or other coolants) is …

Energy crisis and associated environmental issues are the main challenges in today's
changing world, where there is a growing demand for electricity. To address such …

The daily variation in air temperature is large compared with the temperature changes a
short distance below the surface of the ground. In theory, a heat engine can be arranged to …
