Numerical modeling of the thermoelectric cooler with a complementary equation for heat circulation in air gaps

In this paper, a numerical model is developed by combining thermodynamics with heat transfer theory. Taking inner and external multi-irreversibility into account, it is with a complementary equation for heat circulation in air gaps of a steady cooling system with commercial thermoelectric modules op...
