Abstract:This paper presents a method of extracting temperature-dependent parameters of thermoelectric material from the operating conditions of thermoelectric cooler (TEC). Based on the finite element method of calculating TEC’s performance, non-linear least squares method is used for extracting temperature-dependent material parameters including the seebeck coefficient, electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity (α, ρ, κ) as operating current, thermal load and hot end temperature are taken as inputs and cooling … Show more
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.
