A Comprehensive Guide To Thermoelectric Fundamentals And System Design

In this book, Michael Spry brings together a confluence of two projects. Ten chapters and all of the appendices have been lifted from his monumental book, Reframing Thermoelectric Fundamentals For Greater Understanding. Also, ten new chapters have been created to expand awareness of electrical phenomena and thermoelectric (TE) system design principles. Together, they form a comprehensive guide which weds theoretical and practical concepts. In over three decades of work within the field, Michael Spry has strived to bring wider comprehension of thermoelectric fundamentals and applications. Toward that end, he developed computer models which rely upon the temperature dependency of bulk material properties to explore balanced operation in TE elements. Through this innovative work, the author breaks down the Seebeck, Peltier, & Thomson Effects, along with thermal conduction, and electrical resistivity. In the process, he explores how steady-state operation can evolve within TE power generation, cooling, and heating. With the addition of practical guidance on the design of TE systems, the author has compiled a far-reaching treatment of thermoelectricity. With meticulous study, readers can gain a very thorough grasp of critical concepts.
