Simulating thermoelectric material (Fe<sub>2</sub>V<sub>0.8</sub>W<sub>0.2</sub>Al) with Comsol Multi-Physics Software

POSTER

Abstract

Given that thermoelectric materials transfer heat directly into electricity, they have enormous potential for producing sustainable energy. The Heusler alloy (Fe2V0.8W0.2Al) is unique among these materials because of its remarkable thermoelectric qualities. In this work, we investigate the complex behavior of (Fe2V0.8W0.2Al) as a thermoelectric material using Multiphysics simulations. The simulation software that is beneficial for this research is called COMSOL Multiphysics. With temperature-dependent material properties, it enables the computation of electrical and thermal profiles in various geometries. The intricate crystal structure of the alloy is explained by our multi-physics method, which includes thermal and electrical components. To determine the temperature distribution in the (Fe2V0.8W0.2Al) sample, we utilize COMSOL. We shall give the simulation findings of (Fe2V0.8W0.2Al) 's other properties.
