Abstract
The efficiency equation for any number of thermoelectric generators thermally in series is derived. The design relationships for maximum efficiency and for maximum power transfer of a multiple stage thermoelectric generator are also given. Since the efficiencies are approximately additive, an appreciable increase in generator efficiency is anticipated by use of multiple stages.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
