Numerical Research on Heat Transfer Capabilities of the Exhaust Intensified Thermoelectric System
The model of thermoelectric conversion system for the exhaust was established, and numerical calculations of convection heat transfer and resistance characteristics of the channel were done. The analysis results show that the heat transfer efficiency is enhanced, higher convection heat transfer coefficient is obtained with the intensified thermoelectric system; and lower flow resistance and pressure drop are obtained, heat transfer area is extended notable by changing the cross section shape of the channel. So the thermoelectric conversion properties of the system is enhanced.
