    Tutorial - 3

    1. Certain elements A and B have a following properties in the temperature range of


    interest;
    Sm = 0.004 Volt/K
    Thermal conductance of each element = 0.05 Watt/K
    Resistance of each element = 0.025 Ohm
    The elements operate between junction temperature of 1250 K and 800K.
    Determine
    a. Maximum output and efficiency at maximum load
    b. Input power and terminal voltage at no load
    c. Input power and current under short circuit condition.

    2. A 100 kW, 120V thermoelectric generator is to be designed to operate between the


    temperatures 1500K and 1000K. The properties of the materials are Ka=0.025 Watt/cm-
    K, Kb=0.032 Watt/cm-K, a=0.013 Ohm-cm, b=0.015 Ohm-cm. The current density in
    the thermoelectric elements is limited to 20 Amp/cm 2. Calculate the total resistance per
    couple and the thermal conductance for the thermoelectric generator.

    3. Design a thermoelectric generator to operate from a heat source of 1150 K and to reject
    heat at 700K. The required output is 55 watts and 6 volts. The properties of the materials
    used are Sm=0.0015 Volt/K, Ka=0.03 Watt/cm-K, Kb=0.02 Watt/cm-K, a=0.006 Ohm-
    cm, b=0.007 Ohm-cm. Assume thermoelectric elements to be 1 cm in length.

    4. Assume the Seeback co-efficient Sab=0.02 V/K in the temperature range from -50 to
    +50C. the properties of the materials are Ka=0.02 Watt/cm-K, Kb=0.03 Watt/cm-K,
    a=0.01 Ohm-cm, b=0.014 Ohm-cm. Design a single stage thermoelectric refrigerator
    which has a cooling capacity of 500 Btu/hr at a temperature of -20C. The ambient
    temperature is 25C. Allow 10C difference between the hot junction and ambient and
    also, between the cold junction and the cooling load. The electric source has 6 Volts. The
    design is for maximum coefficient of performance.
    Calculate (i) coefficient of performance, (ii) number of thermocouples in series,
    (iii) sizes of the thermal elements and (iv) the current required to keep the cooling load at
    -20C.
    5. The measured Seeback effect between two conductors A & B in the temperature range
    300K to 800K can be approximated by
    Sab = 2.2 x 10-4 + 2 x 10-6T – 2 x 10-9T2 – 5 x 10-13T3
    Where Sab is in volts/K and T is in K.
    Determine the values of Sab, ab and a-b at T = 650K.
