Numerical modeling and optimization of the segmented PbTe–BiTe-based thermoelectric leg

The segmentation of thermoelectric materials is an efficient way to improve the overall efficiency of a thermoelectric leg. However, this improvement can be obtained only when the constituent materials are appropriately proportioned. A numerical model is established for optimizing the performance of...
