This paper investigates the electric power extractable from an helicopter conical nozzle equipped with thermoelectrical modules. The thermoelectric nozzle is heated by the final exhaust gas from helicopter turbine and cooled by oil. A computer model has been developed to simulate the performance of the thermoelectric system. Results were obtained for various operating conditions showing that the electrical power produced in real operating conditions is significant but currently insufficient if we consider the weight-to-power ratio. The numerical model is also used to optimize the electric power showing a good potential for the future. (C) 2010 Elsevier BM. All rights reserved.
