Entropy, Volume 25, Issue 12

2023 December - 106 articles

Cover Story: This month's cover focuses on Alsaghir and Bahk, who propose using all solid-state thermoelectric (TE) generators to convert medium-grade waste heat from the exhaust duct of a gas turbine power plant into electricity, thus improving the overall system efficiency. Detailed modeling and design optimization strategies are provided for such a TE system under realistic operation conditions, and conduct exergy analysis for the TE system. The proposed TE system can achieve a power output of ~10 KW with an efficiency of ~5 % from a gas turbine power plant's 2 m long, 0.5 × 0.5 m2 cross-sectional area exhaust duct.
