TL;DR: In this article, a general, three-dimensional numerical model of thermoelectric devices with consideration of coupling of temperature field and electric potential field was developed to figure out the performance of TECs with the temperature dependent thermal conductivity, electric conductivity and Seebeck coefficient of semiconductor materials.

TL;DR: In this article, a solar-driven thermoelectric cooling module with a waste heat regeneration unit designed for green building applications is investigated in a model house, where experiments are conducted to investigate the cooling efficiency of the module.

TL;DR: In this paper, three fundamental combinations of thermal boundary conditions on the respective wall surface (i.e., isoflux-isoflux, isoftluxisothermal, and isothermal-isothermal) are considered separately so as to investigate extensively their distinct influence on the flow pattern.

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical model for a beta-type Stirling engine with rhombic-drive mechanism is presented, which takes into account the non-isothermal effects, the effectiveness of the regenerative channel, and the thermal resistance of the heating head.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simulation model is developed and used to predict transient thermal behavior of the thermoelectric coolers, where the P-N pair is treated as a single bulk material and the temperature difference between the semiconductor elements was not evaluated.
