Which risk increases when a thermoelectric generator's cold-side heat exchanger experiences reduced convective cooling?

💡 Explanation

Hot-side creep deformation gets accelerated because reduced cooling elevates the temperature gradient across the thermoelectric material, intensifying the thermally activated creep. Therefore, creep accelerates rather than diode leakage or efficiency reductions under these conditions.
