An experimental study is made of nonsteady-state thermoelectric cooling upon passage through a thermoelement of a current of rectilinear pulses. It is shown that the cooling process can be adequately described within the framework of a model which considers only the Peltier and Joule effects (within the volume and at the junction).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
