Thermoelectric module (TEM) systems proposed in this study adopts loop thermosyphon with TiO2-nanofluid as working fluid. The present experimental study is focused on the optSubscrSubscript textipt textimum operating condition of the TE system proposed to improve energy output and to obtain stable power generation to be used in future hybrid vehicles. The results of the present study indicate a possibility to use such loop thermosyphon TEMs for future thermoelectric hybrid automotive vehicles. The system showed the optimum performance with acetone with 50% charged amount as the working fluid for the TLT. The system with the new working fluid, nanofluids, neither improved its performance nor its stability.

Recent developments in thermoelectric materials and systems have led to renewed interest in thermoelectric devices for power generation. Operating conditions of the heat source and heat sink are essential in evaluating the conversion efficiency of such thermoelectric generator systems. This study provides a method for evaluating efficiency entitlement for thermoelectric power generation when thermoelectric material properties and system operating conditions are specified. The efficiency entitlement in closed form solutions for the most commonly used thermoelectric power generation configurations are presented followed by results and discussion.
