Reframing Thermoelectric Fundamentals For Greater Understanding

In over three decades of work within the field, Michael Spry has strived to bring greater understanding to thermoelectric (TE) fundamentals and applications. This led him to develop computer models which rely upon the codependency of thermal gradients and bulk material properties, exploring how temperature dependencies bring these gradients and property manifestations to steady states of operation. This work has yielded significant insights into the mechanisms governing material properties, successfully recasting thermoelectric fundamentals into a more intuitive framework. Thus, the author draws upon a keen understanding to offer detailed explanations, formulations, and illustrations which can provide readers a much better command of solid state power generation, cooling, and heating.Within this innovative work, the author breaks down each of the material properties and the mechanisms which give rise to them. He then integrates the functionality of the properties to show how steady-state operation evolves within the three TE technologies-all illuminated by the full context of temperature dependency. The author has painstakingly worked to make this one of the most revealing books ever written about the intricacies of thermoelectric science. With meticulous study, readers can gain a much more thorough grasp of this technology and its theoretical foundation.
