Abstract
An analysis is made for optimizing the thermal efficiency of a sandwiched thermoelectric device and is coded for a digital computer. For suitable input data, the computer determines the thermocouple design that approximately maximizes the thermal efficiency of the device. A verification of the analysis indicates that the difference between the approximately optimum efficiency and the optimum efficiency is negligible.
