Numerical Computation of Thermoelectric and Thermomagnetic Effects
نویسنده
چکیده
Phenomenological equations describing the Seebeck, Hall, Nernst, Peltier, Ettingshausen, and Righi-Leduc effects are numerically solved for the temperature, electric current, and electrochemical potential distributions of semiconductors under magnetic field. The results are compared to experiments.

Thermoelectric effects in superconductors
It is widely believed that temperature gradient does not induce electric field in the superconductor and consequently that thermoelectric effects do not exist, or are negligible in these materials. This statement is correct only as far as effective electric field or gradient of the electrochemical potential is concerned. In normal metals temperature gradient generates effective electric field, ...
متن کاملA numerical simulation of thermoelectric effects in single-junction thermal converters
1 Abstract -Thermoelectric effects in a single-junction thermal converter (SJTC) are responsible for an ac-dc transfer difference of the order of a few parts in 10. Different thermoelectric effects are found in SJTCs. These are characterized by different timeconstants that reflect the characteristic scales of the thermoelectric effects and, hence, may give us a clue for identifying the location...
متن کاملThermomagnetic effects , stability and oscillations in the critical state in hard superconductors
The influence of thermomagnetic (Ettingshausen and Nernst) effects on the stability and dynamics of the critical state in hard superconductors has been considered. Both the criteria for stability against flux jumps and the nature of a developing instability have been investigated in some simple cases. It is shown that thermomagnetic effects lead to essential changes in the dynamics of the criti...
متن کاملSimulation of Thermomagnetic Convection in a Cavity Using the Lattice Boltzmann Model
Thermomagnetic convection in a differentially heated square cavity with an infinitely long third dimension is numerically simulated using the single relaxation time lattice Boltzmann method LBM . This problem is of considerable interest when dealing with cooling of microelectronic devices, in situations where natural convection does not meet the cooling requirements, and forced convection is no...
متن کاملEffect of conjugate heat transfer in designing thermoelectric beverage cooler
Peltier technology opens new opportunities for special applications. In the current project, this technology was applied to design and fabricate a portable thermoelectric beverage cooler and thermoelectric cup. The simulation and results of the experiment showed that the common beverage cooler is not a suitable design for ignoring the effect of natural convection in cooling. In our thermoel...
