Thermoelectricity Mr. Kang Major: Electronics Science and Technology Student Number : Emall:1309404109@ Introduction Theory of thermoelectricity Applications Conclusion Contents Thermoelectricity has become an important line of scientific and technical process essentially responsible for success in many vital domains of mankind development. ? The conversion of temperature differences to electric voltage and vice-versa. ? Create a temperature difference when a voltage is applied to thermoeletric device 1. Introduction It is generally recognized that thermoelectricity was discovered by Thomas Seebeck in 1821, however there exists evidences which prove that the discovery could be earlier. Introduction Alessandro Volta In 1794 - 1795, A. Volta wrote to professor of physics in Royal University of Turino abbot Anton Maria Vassali three letters entitled “A new paper on the animal electricity”. He described clearly in his letters, he discovered the origination of thermoelectromotive forces nor the magnetic action. Composed of materials of different Seebeck coefficient. Configured as a thermoelectric generator. As a temperature-sensing thermocouple if the load is removed. 2. Theory of thermoelectricity The thermoelectric circuit Three thermoelectricity effects The Seebeck effect Peltier effect Thomson effect 2. Theory of thermoelectricity ? The conversion of temperature differences directly into electricity ? A classic example of an?electromotive force ? Leads to measurable currents or voltages in the same way as any other electromotive force. 2.1 The Seebeck effect Explains a voltage generated in a junction of two metal wires. The presence of heating or cooling Generated (or removed) heat at the junction Free convection Peltier cooler with heat sink surface temperature contours, and rising warmer air and falling cooler air flow trajectories, predicted using a CFD analysis package, courtesy of NCI 2.2 The Peltier eff
