Geometry Design-Based Thermoelectric Optimization Module

One alternative energy source is thermoelectric which able to convert waste heat into electricity. However, research on thermoelectrics still needs a lot of development, especially module design. Therefore, optimization based the design was carried out using computer simulation. parameters that can be used for analysis maximum output power thought increased through cross-sectional area, length, shape, and type pairs legs. The principles in simulation are about semiconductor material foot material, Seebeck effect understand conversion process, resistivity thermal conductivity input from simulation, CaTiO3, SiC model also Finite Element Analysis. FEA) processing results. begins by making each variation, entering specifications, then running process calculations obtain power. From results, it known will optimal small leg lengths, large areas, similar materials (Unileg) with good specifications value 3,713.10-8 W beams, 3,634.10-8 cylinders, 8,617.10-8 For Unileg N-N.
