Abstract
Commercially available solid-state thermoelectric devices may be used for their electrical power generation capabilities when coupled to a thermoacoustic refrigerator or heat pump. General performance characteristics as well as bulk thermal conductivity for a selection of thermoelectric elements was first found by using a two-plate apparatus to maintain a constant temperature difference across the element. Further studies of an element’s performance when placed in series with the thermoacoustic refrigerator’s heat exchangers will be presented. Design considerations for using thermoelectric elements in a no-moving parts electrical power generation scheme will be discussed.
