We designed an experimental system that allowed the Peltier module to work under a constant thermal input ux or a constant temperature difference. From these I-V curves we have calculated the thermoelectric figure of merit and the conversion e ciency of the device, comparing it with maximum theoretical values.5 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Fonts Santana, 2015http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/TermoelectricitatGeneradors elèctricsTreballs de fi de grauThermoelectricityElectric generatorsBachelor's thesesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
