Thermoelectric energy conversion devices and systems
Yazawa, Kazuaki.
Thermoelectric energy conversion devices and systems - Singapore; World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd., 2021. - xxiv, 364p. - WSPC series in advanced integration and packaging ; volume 7 .
This unique compendium emphasizes key factors driving the performance of thermoelectric energy conversion systems. Important design parameters such as heat transfer at the boundaries of the system, material properties, and form factors are carefully analyzed and optimized for performance including the cost-performance trade-off. Numbers of examples are provided on the applications of thermoelectric technologies, e. g. , power generation, cooling of electronic components, and waste heat recovery in wearable devices. This book provides a comprehensive treatment of thermoelectric energy conversion devices and systems, emphasizing the physical principles, materials, device design, modeling, fabrication, packaging, and system integration of thermoelectric technologies. It discusses heat transfer, electrical transport, optimization of thermoelectric performance, efficiency, reliability, and cost-performance trade-offs. Practical applications including waste heat recovery, renewable energy harvesting, cooling systems, and electronic thermal management are presented with numerous examples. The volume also introduces interactive modeling tools to assist researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the design, analysis, and optimization of thermoelectric energy conversion systems.
