摘要
A simple, easily applied model describing the non-steady-state temperature behaviour of thermoelectric cooling semiconductor devices is derived from consideration of the heat flows arising from thermal conductivity, the Peltier effect and Joule heating in a typical thermoelectric cooling device. The derived model is tested by comparison with the measured performance of a thermoelectric cooling device constructed for this study. The model is shown to accurately predict device behaviour to a statistical confidence limit of 99% for the given device criteria and experimental conditions.
