Abstract

The thermoelectric conversion with lower Renault number (Re) fluid, such as waste heat from industry boiler, and engine’s circled cooling water, which can be designed as intramural generator structure. In this research, a thermoelectric project analysis model and the description of an intensified system are presented, its generator with the aligned or staggered platoon structure has strengthened heat-transfer property, and the heat convection coefficient ratio has increased times than plain tube; For the fluid kinetic energy’s loss is influenced by the whirlpool, the pressure difference is several hundred Pa level which changes along with geometric parameters of transform components; what’s more, heat transfer area increase distinctly under the same generator volume, which has built the foundation for the enhancement output electric power.
