Abstract :
Electric power was estimated in the large-scale flat thermoelectric panels exposed to 2 thermal fluids. The output powers of the proposed 15 systems were analyzed from the viewpoint of heat exchange. The new non-dimensional functions were deduced for system design. The multiplied thermoelectric panels can decrease their total panel area necessary for the maximum output. The output from the multipanels is only a few % smaller than that of 1 panel system.
