Abstract :
The combustion characteristics of three microcombustors were compared, and the thermoelectric experiments related were carried out. Combustor I and II were made up from quartz and combustor III was made up from stainless steel. The Bi2Te3 alloy was adopted as thermoelectric material. Some conclusions about fuel flux, temperature, voltage output, power output and were drew. It is found that the total thermoelectric efficiency increase with the increase of thermoelectric surface. In our experiments, the maximum total conversion efficiency is 18.04%.
