To properly design and model a TED, radiation heat transfer should be resolved within the cavity, especially at high operating temperatures. Radiation heat transfer is often ignored or over-simpli?ed due to the computationally intensive process of resolving the radiation view factor Fij within a particular geometry. This study utilizes hybrid CPU-GPU highperformance computing to numerically resolve Fij between the interior hot- and cold-side ceramic plates within a unit cell TED, taking into account the shadow effect contributions of interconnectors and thermoelectric material legs through a point-in-polygon algorithm. To provide values of Fij for a variety of potential design applications, the packing density q was varied between 0.1 and 0.9, the height to width ratio of the thermoelectric elements was varied between 0.5 and 1.75 and top and bottom interconnector thicknesses were varied between 0.125 and 0.25 mm. Results indicate Fij behaves non-linearly with q exhibiting exponential decay with an increase in q. Increas
