Parametric analysis of radioisotope thermoelectric generatorsA parametric analysis of a radioisotope-thermoelectric power generator is presented. A cylindrical heat-source geometry was assumed with either lead telluride or silicon-germanium thermoelectric elements located around the lateral surface of the fuel block. Generator performance, rather than overall power-system performance, was analyzed; that is, such mission dependent considerations as nuclear shielding, reentry protection, and power conditioning were not included.
