The thermal conductivity of liquid 1, 2-dimethoxyethane was measured from 243 K to 353 K at pressures from 0 to 30 MPa by the transient hot-wire technique employing two anodized tantalum hot wires. The experimental data were correlated as a function of pressure and temperature. The average absolute deviation of experimental data from those calculated by the equation was 0.24 %, and the maximum absolute deviation was 0.80 %. The uncertainty of the thermal conductivity was 2.0 % with a coverage factor of k = 2.
There exists the transient thermoelectric supercooling effect that can be enhanced by keeping on increasing the Peltier cooling effect to compensate for the Joule heating effect and Fourier heat conduction effect arriving at the cold junction, in which a transient cold spike can be produced by superimposing an additional shaped current pulse of a large magnitude on the original steady-state optimum value. Most previous work on the transient supercooling mainly focused on the minimum supercooling temperature achievable and separately analyzed the beneficial or detrimental effects on the transient supercooling performance, which was not clarified quantitatively to what extent the interactional effects were on the enhancement of the transient supercooling performance. In this work, we systematically investigate a numerical solution involving time-dependent imposed voltage pulse and time-dependent thermal boundary conditions on the transient supercooling behavior as well as the response of characteristic time and cold-junction temperature distribution to the pulse operation parameters during the periods of pulse start-up, pulse-on time, and pulse-off time, which is served as a theoretical basis for exploiting the coupling interaction of the thermoelectric effects on the heat diffusion from or to the cold junction interrelated with the amount of the availably electrical conversion in the short time scale. Additionally, the advantage of certain pulse forms over others is described. The results indicate that Peltier supercooling capacity shows a decreasing monotonic trend in proportion to the total amount of electrical conversion, and the maximum coefficient of performance for cooling state is about 0.5 to be achieved at steady state. Taking advantage of the temporary Peltier effect focused electrical conversion as the additional cooling for a period long enough against the earlier arrival of the excessively Joule heating dominated heat accumulation is the key parameter for the significant level of thermal enhancement on the pulse supercooling. The discussions may be attractive for compact thermal system coupled with pulsed Peltier supercooling to come up to the localized cooling level of high power packaging.
