摘要: Heat exchangers play an important role in the performance of thermal machines, namely, electric power generators, engines and refrigerators. Regarding thermoelectrics, this influence is even higher, owing to difficulty transferring heat from small surface area a typical thermoelectric module bigger one. Particularly, hot face average 40 mm x Peltier module, flux readily yields 40600 W/m2. The effects, Joule, Seebeck, Thomson, describe interaction between fields, are well known since XIX century (Rowe, 2006).
