摘要：

We discuss a novel tool based on heat flow diagrams for analyzing irreversible processes associated with thermoelectric devices and discuss some ambiguous descriptions and errors in related investigations. We consider thermoelectric generators as a paradigm of a heat engine cycle and determine the heat flow distribution by treating the one-dimensional heat transfer differential equation. Representative heat flow diagrams are used to study the influence of internal and external irreversible processes of heat conduction and Joule heat generation.
