This document discusses thermoelectric generators (TEGs) and their ability to directly convert thermal energy into electric power through the Seebeck effect. It describes how TEGs work using three key elements: a heat exchanger to absorb heat, thermoelectric modules to generate electricity from a temperature difference, and a heat sink to dissipate additional heat. The document also examines common TEG materials like bismuth telluride and challenges like low thermal efficiency around 4%, as well as applications in recovering waste heat from power plants, automobiles, and other systems.

The testing is done for above conditions and experimental results with this setup are performed and presented.
Thermoelectric generator technologies and hybrid photovoltaic.pptxahmedjassim36
Concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) is of much intrigue among all photovoltaic (PV) technologies because it re- places the expensive PV cell material with cheaper optical concentrators and occupies less land area as compared with conventional PV technology. However
A theoretical analysis on the performance of (Bi2Te3-PbTe) hybrid thermoelectric generator (TEG) is presented in this paper. The effect of different performance parameters such as output voltage, output current, output power, maximum power output, open circuit voltage, Seebeck co-efficient, electrical resistance, thermal conductance, figure of merit, efficiency, heat absorbed and heat removed based on maximum conversion and power efficiency have been analyzed by varying the hot side temperature up to 350oC and by varying the cold side temperature from 30oC to 150oC. The results showed that a maximum power output of 21.7 W has been obtained with the use of one hybrid thermoelectric module for a temperature difference of 320oC between the hot and cold side of the thermoelectric generator at matched load resistance. The figure of merit was found to be around 1.28 which makes its usage possible in the intermediate temperature (250oC to 350oC) applications such as heating of Biomass waste, heat from Biomass cook stoves or waste heat recovery etc. It is also observed that the hybrid thermoelectric generator offers superior performance over 250oC of the hot side temperature, compared to standard Bi2Te3 modules.

The usage of thermoelectric generator as a renewable energy sourceTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Currently thermoelectric generators (TEG) are widely used in biomedical, military and space satellite power applications. TEG of high power plants are mostly used in automobile and industrial engines. This paper discusses TEG as a renewable energy source. Here the TEG in the application is used in the thermoelectric generator power plant. The working principle of this thermoelectric generator is on the heat side of the TEG peltier which is coated in metal in the form of aluminum, which is heated by a heater. And the cold side of the TEG Peltier is placed on the heat sink (as a heat dissipation metal). Heatsinks are submerged in water which are submerged about half or more. If the temperature of the metal being heated and the temperature of heat dissipation metal have a certain difference, then the temperature difference causes TEG to start working. The greater the temperature difference, the greater the electrical energy produced will be. However, if the temperature difference is too large it will damage the bismuth semiconductor material used. After TEG starts working it will produce voltage and current.
electricity generation from waste heat of gas.Vikas Rathod
Waste heat is by necessity produced both by machines that do work and in other processes that use energy, for example in a refrigerator warming the room air or a combustion engine releasing heat into the environment.
The need for many systems to reject heat as a by-product of their operation is fundamental to the laws of thermodynamics. Waste heat has lower utility (or in thermodynamics lexicon a lower exergy or higher entropy) than the original energy source.
Review on Design and Theoretical Model of Thermoelectricijsrd.com
This paper presents the theoretical development of the equations that allow to evaluate the performance of an air conditioning system based on the thermoelectric effect. The cooling system is based on a phenomena discovered by Jean Charles Athanase Peltier, in 1834. According to this when electricity runs through a junction between two semiconductors with different properties, heat is dissipated or absorbed. Thus, thermoelectric modules are made by semiconductors materials sealed between two plates through which a continuous current flows and keeps one plate hot and the other cold. The most important parameters to evaluate the performance of the device thermoelectric refrigeration are the coefficient of performance, the heat pumping rate and the maximum temperature difference between the hot side and the cold side of the thermoelectric module.

In the current work, a thermoelectric power generation system was designed for an assessment of opportunities in terms of electricity production through the utilization of waste heat from sugarcane industries. In this study, the thermoelectric cooling of TEC1-12708T200 was appropriate for use in electric power generation from low-grade heat sources. The experiments used ten thermoelectric modules and an aluminum water block installed on the exterior surface area of a sugar boiler to achieve the same water flow as a traditional system. The results revealed that the power generation system could generate about 30 W (25.7 V, 1.17 A) at a matched load of approximately 36.8 Ω. The thermoelectric power generation system could convert 12.5% of heat energy into electrical energy. Therefore, the thermoelectric power generation system designed in this study could be an effective alternative for waste heat recovery in sugarcane industries.
Review on Thermoelectric materials and applicationsijsrd.com
In this paper thermoelectric materials are theoretically analyzed. The thermoelectric cooler device proposed here uses semiconductor material and uses current to transport energy (i.e., heat) from a cold source to a hot source via n- and p-type carriers. This device is fabricated by combining the standard n- and p-channel solid-state thermoelectric cooler with a two-element device inserted into each of the two channels to eliminate the solid-state thermal conductivity. The heat removed from the cold source is the energy difference, because of field emitted electrons from the n-type and p-type semiconductors. The cooling efficiency is operationally defined as where V is the anode bias voltage The cooling device here is shown to have an energy transport (i.e., heat) per electron of about500 me V depending on concentration and field while, in good thermoelectric coolers, it is about 50-60 me V at room temperature.

This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
2. Abstract
Nowadays humans are facing difficult issues, such as increasing power costs,
environmental pollution and global warming.. Scientists are focusing on enhancing
energy-harvesting power generators in an effort to lessen their effects. Through
the Seebeck effect, thermoelectric generators (TEGs) have proven they are capable
of converting thermal energy directly into electric power. Thermoelectric systems
have arisen during the past ten years as a possible alternative to existing green
energy generation technologies because of the distinctive advantages they provide.
3. Introduction
In power plants, about two thirds of the energy used to produce electricity is
wasted as waste heat that is emitted through cooling towers . The primary cause is
that the gas or steam-powered turbine systems, which are responsible for
producing the majority of the electrical power, work largely by burning fuel to
create heat energy, within the turbine, this thermal energy is transformed into
mechanical energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy in a generator
Because of this, only roughly one-third of the fuel's energy is actually transferred to
the transmission lines that leave the power plant.
4. TEG_working principle Mostly, TEG
systems consist of three key elements
1- A heat exchanger (HEX); This absorbs the heat and transfers it into the
thermoelectric modules.
2- Thermoelectric modules (TEMs); The TEMs generate electricity when a temperature
difference exists between their ends. A TEM contains many pairs of thermoelectric
couples,
3 - A heat sink; In order to dissipate the additional heat from the thermoelectric
modules. The temperature difference between two sides of the generator .
5. Seebeckeffect
This mechanism, where a temperature differential produces a voltage, is known as
the thermoelectric effect or Seebeck effect and it was believed to have been
defined for the first time in the 1820s by the German physicist Thomas Johann
Seebeck. However, recent evi- dence shows that Alessandro Volta had also
observed the Seebeck effect 27 years before Thomas Seebeck.
7. . Peltiereffect
As mentioned earlier, in 1821, Thomas Seebeck, a German physi- cist, carried out
numerous tests on electricity and discovered that electricity can function through a
circuit comprising two separate conductors, given that the junctions at which these
conductors con- nected were kept at different temperatures.
9. Thomsoneffect
Thomson indicated that as the current passes into unequally heated conductors,
the thermal energy is either consumed or formed in the metal structure ,In other
words, the Thomson effect is the generation of reversible heat when an electrical
current is passed through a conductive material subjected to a temperature
gradient,
10. Jouleheating
The heating effect was first studied and categorised by James Pre- scott Joule,
around the year 1840. Joule set out to investigate if the recently invented electrical
motor could be more efficient, in terms of cost, than the steam engines in use at
the time. This led him to con- duct a series of experiments on the production,
transfer and use of energy and mechanical work that ultimately led to the first law
of thermodynamics.
11. TEG materials, design and optimisation
As mentioned above, thermoelectric generators offer a reliable solid-state solution
for energy conversion. Devices using advanced thermoelectric materials can
become an alternative to traditional power generation heat engines, most notably
in lightweight heat recovery systems. The maximum efficiency of the conversion of
ther- moelectric energy is typically presented in terms of the temperature of each
heat reservoir and the thermoelectric .
12. TEG Case Studies and Applications
Thermoelectricity, in the form of thermoelectric generators, has a strong capacity
for waste heat recovery, and has been researched and demonstrated in a variety of
experimental and theoretical works. Through the use of a thermoelectric generator,
part of the energy that is usually lost during the production operation can be
converted into electricity.
13. Types of semiconductors used in
thermoelectric generators
Three materials are commonly used for thermoelectric generators. These materials
are bismuth (Bi2Te3) telluride, lead telluride (PbTe) and Silicon germanium (SiGe).
Which material is used depends on the characteristics of the heat source, cold sink
and the design of the thermoelectric generator. Many thermoelectric generator
materials are currently undergoing research but have not been commercialized.
14. Challenges of TEG
The primary challenge of using TEG is its low thermal effi- ciency (typically Ztho4%)
. Thermoelectric materials effi- ciency depends on the thermoelectric figure of
merit, Z; a material constant proportional to the efficiency of a thermoelectric
couple made with the material. stated that future thermoelectric materials show the
promise of reaching signifi- cantly higher values of the thermoelectric figure of
merit, Z, and thus higher efficiencies and power densities can be obtained.
Materials such as BiTe (bismuth telluride), CeFeSb (skutterudite), ZnBe (zinc–
beryllium), SiGe (silicon–germanium), SnTe (tin tell- uride) and new nano-crystalline
or nano-wire thermoelectric materials are currently in development stage to
improve the conversion efficiency of TEG.
15. TEG in the automotive industry
For an automobile engine, there are two main exhaust heat gas sources which are
readily available. The radiator and exhaust gas systems are the main heat output of
an IC engine . The radiator system is used to pump the coolant through the cham-
bers in the heat engine block to avoid overheating and seizure . Conversely, the
exhaust gas system of an IC engine is used to discharge the expanded exhaust gas
through the exhaust mani- fold. that presently TEG is mostly installed in the
exhaust gas system (exhaust manifold) due to its simplicity and low influence on
the operation of the engine. Furthermore, TEG system including the heat exchanger
is com- monly installed in the exhaust manifold suitable for its high temperature
region . Basically, a practical automotive waste heat energy recovery system
consists of an exhaust gas system, a heat exchanger, a TEG system, a power
conditioning system, and a battery pack .
16. Conclusion
it has been identified that there are large potentials of energy savings through the use of waste
heat recovery technologies. Waste heat recovery entails capturing and reusing the waste heat from
internal combustion engine and using it for heating or generating mechanical or electrical work. It
would also help to recognize the improvement in performance and emissions of the engine if these
technologies were adopted by the automotive manufacturers. T It should be noted that TEG
technology can be incorporated with other technologies such as PV, turbocharger or even Rankine
bottoming cycle technique to maximize energy efficiency, reduce fuel consumption and GHG
emissions. Recovering engine waste heat can be achieved via numerous methods. The heat can
either be ’’reused’’ within the same process or transferred to another thermal, electrical, or
mechanical process. The common technolo- gies used for waste heat recovery from engine include
thermo- electrical devices, organic Rankine cycle or turbocharger system. By maximizing the
potential energy of exhaust gases, engine efficiency and net power may be improved. Exergy
efficiency is a concept which helps to obviously show the environmental impact by numbers. By
increasing the exergy efficiency, sustainability index will increase and leads to less production of
pollutants like NOx and SO2 during creating the same amount of power.
