Abstract

Temperature difference is given to thermoelectric (TE) flat panel using two thermal fluids. The TE power is mathematically evaluated when a fluid is perpendicularly blown onto the center of the TE panel and when it divided to two opposite directions at the equivalent mass flow rate. The non-dimensional analysis shows that the output power becomes completely identical with that for the non-split flow along the single flat TE panel. The fluid velocity distribution and the temperature profiles were numerically calculated using the finite volume method to show the effect of stagnation and friction in the long flat path.
