摘要

High efficiency segmented thermoelectric unicouples (STUs) made of n-type Bi_2Te_3 and CoSb_3 based alloys and p-type Bi_2Te_3 and CeFe_4Sb_(12) based alloys have recently been developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). A 1-D analytical model of STUs, which assumes zero side heat losses, is developed and its predictions are compared with some results of experiments performed at JPL to measure the performance parameters of two STUs, uni8 and uni12. Calculations of the effects of contact resistance and side heat losses on the performance of these STUs are presented and discussed. The results indicate that had uni8 and uni12 been well insulated and the contact resistance per leg ~50μΩcm~2, they could have achieved a conversion efficiency of ~12%, in the tests performed at T_c = 305-316 K and T_h = 872-885 K. However, the actual contact resistances of ~146 and 690μΩcm~2 per leg and the side heat losses of 3.7 and 1.83 W, for uni8 and uni12, respectively, limited the peak conversion efficiency in the tests to ~5.5% and 4.6%, respectively. Calculations indicated that STUs having a total contact resistance ~50μΩcm~2 per leg and being well insulated on the sides could potentially achieve a peak conversion efficiency of 15% when operated between 973 and 300 K.
