⸻
2. SCOPE OF WORK
The Contractor shall perform the following tasks:
⸻
A. Baseline FEM Model Development

• Implement temperature-dependent material properties:
• Seebeck coefficient α(T)
• Thermal conductivity k(T)
• Electrical resistivity ρe(T)
• Mechanical properties (Young’s modulus, CTE, Poisson’s ratio)
• Perform steady-state coupled thermo-electric simulations
• Extract voltage, current, power, efficiency, and temperature distribution
⸻
B. Material Comparison Study
Simulate and compare the following thermoelectric materials:
• Bi₂Te₃
• Skutterudites
• Half-Heuslers
• Oxide-based materials
Deliver a comparative performance matrix and ranking.
⸻
C. Geometric Optimization
• Conduct parametric sweeps for:
• Leg length
• Cross-sectional area
• Segmentation configurations
• Identify optimized geometry for maximum power output and efficiency
• Provide performance curves and sensitivity analysis
⸻
D. Thermo-Mechanical Reliability Analysis
• Perform structural analysis under thermal loading
• Evaluate Von Mises stress and CTE mismatch
• Simulate thermal cycling and fouling-induced temperature gradients
• Identify potential failure regions
⸻
E. Integration Concept Development
• Develop conceptual TEG array integration within WTE exhaust ducts
• Estimate recoverable power output
• Provide packaging and feasibility recommendations
⸻
3. DELIVERABLES
The Contractor shall provide:
• Fully commented APDL scripts
• Temperature-dependent material property database
• Simulation result files (.rst, .dat, etc.)
• High-resolution contour plots
• Optimization report
• Reliability assessment report
• Integration concept report
• Publication-quality figures
All deliverables shall be provided in editable digital format.
