Thermodynamic Derivation of the Reciprocal Relation of Thermoelectricity
The Kelvin relation, relating the Seebeck coefficient and the Peltier coefficient, is a theoretical basis of thermoelectricity. It was first derived by Kelvin using a quasi-thermodynamic approach. However, Kelvin’s approach was subjected to much criticism due to the rude neglect of irreversible fact...
