Abstract (2. Language): 
In this paper, the effect of exhaust gases crossing over the thermoelectric generator has been studied. The calculations were carried out by using the thermodynamics, heat transfer, and thermoelectric equations in MATLAB software. The effects of exhaust gases temperature and ambient temperature increment on maximum efficiency, maximum power, and the initial cost of the thermoelectric generator were investigated. By comparing the results of different environmental conditions and system changes to enhance performance, increasing the exhaust gases temperature were led to efficiency elevation and decreasing the initial costs. The most ideal situation for using generator, is the place with the maximum exhaust gases temperature and minimum ambient temperature.
