The present analysis gives the effects of the thermoelectric currents on the quasi‐one‐dimensional flow of a real gas in a diverging channel. Numerical solutions are obtained for generator and accelerator modes with subsonic and supersonic flows. the variation of current and power density are presented for the special cases of (i) a linearly diverging channel and (ii) a constant velocity channel. It is observed that the rate of change of the transverse current and the power is slower owing to the influence of thermoelectric currents.
