Simulation of the Cold-End Temperature and the Optimal Current of Thermoelectric Cooler With Variable Semiconductor Cross Section Using Lattice Boltzmann Method
Abstract:In order to evaluate the effects of variable semiconductor cross section on the cold-end temperature of thermoelectric cooler (TEC), the numerical model of the cold-end temperature field of TEC with variable semiconductor cross section was established using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) in this work, Firstly, the Chapman-Enskog expansion method was used to derive the LBM model and build the parameter connection between the continuous equation and the discrete model. Secondly, nine different types of cross… Show more
