Abstract
⺠The effect of the operation condition of a thermoelectric generator on a parallel microchannel heat sink is studied. ⺠The three-dimensional governing equations for fluid flow and heat transfer are solved using the finite volume method. ⺠The effect of the inlet plenum arrangement on the laminar flow distribution in the channels is considered. ⺠The particular focus is the geometrical effect of TEG (Thermoelectric generators) device on heat transfer characteristics in the heat sink. ⺠Results are in a good agreement with the previous experimental and theoretical studies.
