Thermoelectric devices make use of the Seebeck effect to convert adifference in temperature into electricity. Thermoelectric devices are used or proposed for anumber of different current applications including waste heat recovery. In the experiment, aLabVIEW data acquisition system measures real-time efficiency of the thermoelectric deviceunder different testing conditions. The experiment is well-suited for an undergraduate thermalsciences lab or a demonstration

by vehicle architecture.Ultimately, each team will need to justify the complexity and fidelity of their models as relatedto required transient responses and ability to execute in real time. For example, a team using aseries hybrid powertrain may require a less dynamic engine model for control development dueto the intrinsically steady engine operating points that a series vehicle may have. Alternatively, apowersplit hybrid vehicle team may require a much more dynamic engine model due to thetransient nature of the engine especially during shifting events.Teams were supplied with Powertrain System Analysis Toolkit (PSAT) as a donation from theUS Department of Energy and facilitated by Argonne National Laboratory. PSAT is a forward-looking
