摘要
Thermoelectric power generation has the potential to recover a large amount of energy loss at the vapor condensers in the steam-based power plants. A suitable arrangement of thermoelectric modules was designed from the heat transfer theory in the cylindrical heat exchanger. Even under the practical operation limits, 150 kW can be generated by the thermoelectric conversion.
