  • The efficiency of a thermoelectric generator

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about its definition and what it tells us about materials.

Question 2

True or False: A higher ZT value indicates less effective thermoelectric performance.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember, ZT is a measure of efficiency.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A thermoelectric module has a Seebeck coefficient of 150 Β΅V/K and operates at 350 K. If the temperature difference between the hot and cold sides is 50 K, what voltage is generated by the module?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the Seebeck coefficient formula correctly to find the generated voltage.

Question 2

A new thermoelectric material has the following properties: Seebeck coefficient = 180 Β΅V/K, electrical conductivity = 12 S/m, thermal conductivity = 0.5 W/mΒ·K, calculate its ZT.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Apply the ZT formula but pay special attention to unit conversions.
