Abstract

One way to convert heat into electricity is through thermoelectric power generation, which is a renewable energy conversion method. To forecast how well a thermoelectric producing system will work, this study suggests a new fluid-thermal-electric multi-physics numerical model. Exhaust temperature and mass flow rate are included in the numerical simulations conducted on the ANSYS platform. From 100 to 450 degrees Celsius is the temperature range of the hot ends. Like the hot end, the cold end may go as hot as 25 degrees Celsius and as low as 10 degrees Celsius. As the temperature at the hot end of the generator increases, the cold end temperature must decrease. This signifies that the two are inversely related. The hot junction has a maximum heat absorption of 32.762 W and a minimum of 4.6305 W. This paper's thermoelectric generator yields a maximum current of 72.156 A and a minimum current of 10.816 A.  The output is highly dependent on where the hot side heat exchanger is placed in respect to the thermoelectric modules. To build a comprehensive thermoelectric generating system for practical usage, it is recommended to combine the advantages of multiple models.
