摘要: The cooling performance of two-stage thermoelectric coolers test modules for different types (serial, parallel, and separate) are examined in this study. Thomson heat is taken into account order to discuss its effect on temperature prediction the internal transfer mechanism. Three Seebeck coefficient models (constant model, quadratic polynomial log-linear model) through experimental investigation numerical simulation suitability accuracy. Results show that best model (PSM). can enhance cooler under specific conditions.
