thermoelectric's Usage Examples:

But on account of the difficulty of the measurements involved, the verification of the accurate relation between the Peltier effect and thermoelectric power was left to more recent times.

- The limiting value, dE/dt, of the coefficient, p, for an infinitesimal difference, dt, between the junctions is called the Thermoelectric Power of the couple.

This thermoelectric receiver was made vastly more sensitive by W.

If then oscillations are sent through the other pair heat is produced at the junction and the galvanometer indicates a thermoelectric current (Wied.

In 1873 he took thermoelectricity for the subject of his discourse as Rede lecturer at Cambridge, and in the same year he presented the first sketch of his well-known thermoelectric diagram before the Royal Society of Edinburgh.

Edin., 1851) that this conclusion was inconsistent with the known facts of thermoelectric inversion.

the hot junction is raised to 270 C., at which temperature the thermoelectric power vanishes and the metals are said to be neutral to one another.

Thermoelectric Relations.

(2) If the Peltier effect was proportional to the thermoelectric power and changed sign with it, as all experiments appeared to indicate, there would A B be no absorption of heat C in the circuit due to the Peltier effect, and therefore no thermal source to account for the energy of the current, in the case in which the hot junction was at or above the neutral temperature.

The order of the metals in respect of the Peltier effect was found to be the same as the thermoelectric series.
