Review: System Goals
Our task is to create an underwater thermoelectric generator that generates 20W of electrical power from 500W of heat.
The main driver of this project is efficiency.

Updates From SDR
1. The electrical system will be out of the water.2. Mechanical system
a. Contains only thermoelectrics and a heat sourceb. Waterproofc. Tethered to the (out of water) electrical system.
3. We chose a very simple system design:a. Easier to assemble and troubleshootb. Few disadvantages compared to other options.c. Like a submarine environment.

Thermoelectrics: Last Time
• We planned to use the Taihuaxing TEP1-1264-1.5 modules from the Sustainable Energy Lab
• We thought we could generate 20W, but Dr. Stevens had some concern about our numbers.
![Page 11: Subsystem Design Review](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816586550346895dd83b91/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Thermoelectrics
Analysis:1. Determine number of modules required to stay
within allowable temperatures and for which Q<480W
2. Iterate heat balance equations to find power3. Taihuaxing Thermoelectric makes some modules
that meet our requirements. Need more research to confirm their specs.
![Page 12: Subsystem Design Review](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816586550346895dd83b91/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Heat Sinking
• First calculated a desired heat sink thermal resistance using a basic model
![Page 13: Subsystem Design Review](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816586550346895dd83b91/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Heat Sinking
• Next, set up equations to determine heat sinking needso Found number of fins needed by varying fin size,
spacing and array type (rectangular vs pin)
![Page 14: Subsystem Design Review](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816586550346895dd83b91/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Heat Sinking
• Results show that plate fin array with reasonable dimensions is sufficient
![Page 15: Subsystem Design Review](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816586550346895dd83b91/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Heat Sinking
• Found a fin array in the Thermoelectrics Lab• Plugging in dimensions in the spreadsheet:
o Rsink = 0.094 K/W - better than needed! Could decrease the resistance by modifying fins
![Page 16: Subsystem Design Review](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816586550346895dd83b91/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Heat Sinking
• Increasing fin spacing increases convection coefficiento Removing 8 of the 16 fins increases the convection
coefficient from 58.6 W/m^2K to 142 W/m^2K, but resistance is unchanged
o Other modificationscould lower theresistance
![Page 17: Subsystem Design Review](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816586550346895dd83b91/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Insulation
• Created a basic thermal circuit to determine the thermal conductance needed for the insulation
![Page 18: Subsystem Design Review](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816586550346895dd83b91/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Insulation• Using the equation, , we found a few
options for insulation that met a compressive strength of ~10 Mpa (1450psi)
![Page 19: Subsystem Design Review](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816586550346895dd83b91/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Insulation
• Created a detailed thermal circuit to determine insulation needs
![Page 21: Subsystem Design Review](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816586550346895dd83b91/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Insulation
• Analyzed heat flow through each node to come up with a system of equations we could solveo Calculated heat that flows through the
thermoelectrics out of the total 500Wo Used solver in Excel to optimize insulation
thicknesses vs cost while maintaining 96% energy delivered through thermoelectrics (480W/500W)
• Results:o ½” of primary insulation (Ceramic)o 1 ¼” of secondary insulation (Fiberglass)

Insulation
Start of needing insulation between
clamp and heat sink

Clamping Analysis Approach
• Calculate EL to ensure bolt fails before threads strip.
• Calculate Relative Strength, R:
• If R > 1:
• Fatigue Factor of Safety based on:
Steel Bolts in Aluminum Bolt Housing

Varying Grade of Steel bolts assuming 3004 H38 Aluminum Housing
![Page 26: Subsystem Design Review](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816586550346895dd83b91/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Varying Aluminum Alloys for Bolt Housing
![Page 27: Subsystem Design Review](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816586550346895dd83b91/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Clamping - Bolted Connection Design
![Page 28: Subsystem Design Review](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816586550346895dd83b91/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Pressure PlateAssuming:• Plate as 1” wide beam
bolted on each end
• Low carbon steel (E = 29 Msi)
⅜” thick beam:y at center = 0.015”
½” thick beam:y at center = 0.0065”
![Page 29: Subsystem Design Review](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816586550346895dd83b91/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Clamping ConclusionsA307 ¼ - 20 bolt in 3004 H38 Aluminum best meets design requirements. EL = 0.362” and Fatigue Safety Factor = 6.7
Low grade ¼ - 20 bolts are easily obtained, and the Thermoelectric Lab has a supply of them
3004 H38 Aluminum bolt housing requires an OD of 0.5” for n = 12 (not fatigue safety factor) McMaster sells 0.5” by 1’ rods of 6061 T6511 (similar properties) for $6.29
Pressure Plate bending appears manageable with low carbon steel, but more analysis is required.

Alternative Materials
• What if we used Stainless Steel instead of Aluminum Alloy?
• Easier to weld Stainless Steel, minimal increase in prices, increased strength, minimal power loss, less corrosion
• Potential problem with bending since it must be thinner than aluminum to get required thermal resistance
• Increased weight

Seals• To seal the cover plate and enclosure,
different methods of static sealing were investigated.
• Face seal gland is the best choice with flange design
• Areas of concern: o O-rings are typically designed for applications with oilo Finding an O-ring that is square shaped
![Page 51: Subsystem Design Review](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816586550346895dd83b91/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Seals
• O-Ring Cord Stock - Material: EPDM (~$0.60/foot)
- Can customize shape
- Good resistance to water- Can withstand temperatures up to 212F- Would need to purchase Silicone Adhesive ($5.39)

Seals
• Sealed enclosure connectionso Glands
Cheap Limited waterproofing
o Underwater Connectors More expensive Good waterproofing Easy to repair
• Underwater connectors better fit our needs
