“…As mentioned above, another two main terms, which are Joule heating and Thomson effect, appear in the energy equations [112][113] [114]. In a recently published article [115], yet another heat generation term called Peltier effect has been discussed through the formulations. The thermal analysis of these systems has been well investigated throughout the literature; see Refs.…”

Analysis of thermal systems on the basis of the second law of thermodynamics has recently gained considerable attention. This is, in part, due to the fact that this approach along with the powerful tools of entropy generation and exergy destruction provides a unique method for the analysis of a variety of systems encountered in science and engineering. Further, in recent years there has been a surge of interest in the thermal analysis of conductive media which include solid structures. In this work, the recent advances in the second law analyses of these systems are reviewed with an emphasis on the theoretical and modelling aspects. The effects of including solid components on the entropy generation within different thermal systems are first discussed. The mathematical methods used in this branch of thermodynamics are, then, reviewed. This is followed by the conclusions regarding the existing challenges and opportunities for further research.

“…Rabri et al [16] and Xiao et al [17] have studied the effect of convection heat transfer in the flat plate thermoelectric generator and found that the convection heat transfer from the thermoelectric couple to the surrounding environment reduces the energy efficiency and power output considerably. Manikandan and Kaushik [18] studied the thermoelectric generator operated thermoelectric cooler combined system for low cooling power applications with maximum power point tracking technique. Solar operated thermoelectric generator systems and waste heat driven thermoelectric power systems have been analysed [19][20][21][22].…”

Integrated health monitoring is beneficial but due to reliability, weight, size, wiring and other constraints, the incorporation of instrumentation onto aircraft propulsion systems is limited. Conventional wired sensing systems are not always feasible due to size, weight constraints, and issues associated with cable routing. This paper presents an integrated and selfpowered wireless system for high temperature (above 125 • C) environments powered by a thermoelectric generator for bearing condition monitoring. Thermoelectric generator with internal oil cooling chamber is proposed to achieve higher energy output for small temperature gradient recorded in the jet engine in comparison with other thermoelectric generators with heat sinks. The experimental results demonstrate that, under a simulated engine environment, the thermoelectric generator can provide sufficient energy for a wireless sensing system to collect environmental data every 46 s, and transmit every 260 s, during the critical takeoff phase of flight and part of cruise.
