Aim of this lecture was an analysis of the thermodynamics of thermoelectric phenomena and of thermoelectric generators seen as heat engines. The basic theory of classical irreversible thermodynamics is recalled, and the conversion efficiency of thermoelectric generators is computed thereof under Dirichlet boundary conditions both in the constant--property limit (namely for vanishingly small temperature differences) and by using the concept of thermoelectric compatibility (for large temperature differences).

Abstract
Aim of this lecture was an analysis of the thermodynamics of thermoelectric phenomena and of thermoelectric generators seen as heat engines. The basic theory of classical irreversible thermodynamics is recalled, and the conversion efficiency of thermoelectric generators is computed thereof under Dirichlet boundary conditions both in the constant--property limit (namely for vanishingly small temperature differences) and by using the concept of thermoelectric compatibility (for large temperature differences).
