Abstract
In this manuscript, a new concept of power generation from thermoelectric generators TEGs using the sun irradiation and two oil tanks, one hot and one cold, is proposed. It consists of two oil tanks separated by a plate covering several TEGs in series. The oil tank at the bottom of the system constitutes a cold convection condition for the TEGs plate; on the other hand, the upper oil tank accounts for a hot convection condition since its upper surface is transparent and therefore subjected to the sun irradiation that will heat up the oil. To test the feasibility of this concept, an appropriate thermal modeling is developed and associated parametric analysis was carried out. It shows that powers up to 242 W can be generated with a system having a hot oil tank height of 0.2 m along with a width and length of 2 m each.
期刊介绍：
Defect and Diffusion Forum (formerly Part A of ''''Diffusion and Defect Data'''') is designed for publication of up-to-date scientific research and applied aspects in the area of formation and dissemination of defects in solid materials, including the phenomena of diffusion. In addition to the traditional topic of mass diffusion, the journal is open to papers from the area of heat transfer in solids, liquids and gases, materials and substances. All papers are peer-reviewed and edited. Members of Editorial Boards and Associate Editors are invited to submit papers for publication in “Defect and Diffusion Forum” . Authors retain the right to publish an extended and significantly updated version in another periodical.
