Multiphysics Simulation of Thermoelectric Material (Fe2V0.8W0.2Al)

POSTER

Abstract

Thermoelectric materials hold immense promise for sustainable energy generation by directly converting heat directly into electricity. Among these materials, the Heusler alloy Fe2V0.8W0.2Al stands out due to its exceptional thermoelectric properties. In this study, we employ Multiphysics simulations to delve into the intricate behavior of Fe2V0.8W0.2Al as a thermoelectric material.

COMSOL Multiphysics is comprehensive simulation software. It allows calculations of electrical and thermal profiles in different geometries with temperature dependent material properties. Our Multiphysics approach encompasses electrical, and thermal, accounting for the alloy’s complex crystal structure. We use COMSOL to find out the temperature distribution in Fe2V0.8W0.2Al sample. The Simulation results of other properties of Fe2V0.8W0.2Al will be presented.
