Heat sink lack of design is one reason that negatively affects the performance of Thermo-Electric Generator (TEG). As compared to conventional cooling systems used with TEG, Heat Pipe Heat Sink (HP-HS) has various points of interest. It is the most appropriate heat exchanger for medium temperature r...
