Look into thermal couple and the equations which govern them (i can't remember the names of the top of my head).

There is quite abit of research into this area for micro power generation. I believe that stirling engines are far more efficent than thermo electric effects for converting heat into power. British gas in the UK is introducing stirling engine boilers for use in power generation in homes which is one nice app for your report.
