This paper presents the results of the experimental research on the electrical characteristics of two dissimilar thermoelectric power sources. Chromel-alumel and nichrome-constantan are the investigated types of thermocouples that are utilized as thermopower sources. Through the assistance of the collected data, experimental and theoretical studies of two equivalent thermopower sources are done. The first studied source is obtained by a parallel connection of the two types of thermocouples, and the second studied source is achieved by the parallel connection of two thermocouples of nichrome-constantan and a single thermocouple made of chromel-alumel. Theoretical studies of the two equivalent thermoelectric sources proved good repeatable precision of the studied results of experimental measurements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
