Thermoelectric effects in a Luttinger liquid (LL) wire adiabatically connected to the leads of noninteracting electrons are considered. For a multichannel LL a staircase-like behavior of the thermal conductance as a function of chemical potential is found. A thermopower for a LL wire with an impurity is evaluated for two cases: (i) LL constriction and (ii) infinite LL wire. We show that the thermopower is described a Mott-like formula renormalized by an interaction-dependent factor. For an infinite LL the renormalization factor decreases with increase of the interaction. However, for a realistic situation, when a LL wire is connected to the leads of noninteracting electrons (LL constriction), the repulsive electron-electron interaction enhances the thermopower. A nonlinear Peltier effect in a LL is briefly discussed.
