Comparative analysis of numerical models of plate-fin heat sinks with forced convection for thermoelectric energy generation
View through CrossRef
Plate-fin heat sinks under forced convection are economical dissipaters employed in a wide variety of sectors. These types of heat sinks are commonly used in power generation by means of commercial thermoelectric generator modules. The design of the heat sink is a key factor in these power generation systems since it greatly affects the efficiency of the direct conversion from heat into electrical energy. Here, we analyse several numerical models of plate-fin heat sinks under forced convection with and without air flow bypass. The predictions of both hydraulic and thermal parts of these models are compared with our own experimental data. Results reveal that Lindstedt and Karvinen model (2012) is the more accurate one, with discrepancies with respect to measurements below 12% for most of the cases studied.
