CRC Handbook of Thermoelectrics 1st Edition by D.M. Rowe (PDF)

Description

Thermoelectrics is the science and technology associated with thermoelectric converters, that is, the generation of electrical power by the Seebeck effect and refrigeration by the Peltier effect. Thermoelectric generators are being used in increasing numbers to provide electrical power in medical, military, and deep space applications where combinations of their desirable properties outweigh their relatively high cost and low generating efficiency. In recent years there also has been an increase in the requirement for thermoelectric coolers (Peltier devices) for use in infrared detectors and in optical communications. Information on thermoelectrics is not readily available as it is widely scattered throughout the literature. The Handbook centralizes this information in a convenient format under a single cover.Sixty of the world’s foremost authorities on thermoelectrics have contributed to this Handbook. It is comprised of fifty-five chapters, a number of which contain previously unpublished material. The contents are arranged in eight sections: general principles and theoretical considerations, material preparation, measurement of thermoelectric properties, thermoelectric materials, thermoelectric generation, generator applications, thermoelectric refrigeration, and applications of thermoelectric cooling.The CRC Handbook of Thermoelectrics has a broad-based scope. It will interest researchers, technologists, and manufacturers, as well as students and the well-informed, non-specialist reader.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐this book has everything one would need to research on TE – power generation and cooling …it goes very deep within a topic but covers a lot of topics …if you’re in to TE …. this book is something you should have …it’s a good reference book too …it’s well worth the 200 dollars i paid for it …i was quite thrilled to get it … and i’m quite thrilled to have it …it relates well to thermodynamics …. the book is well organised ….this book is the bible of Thermoelectrics …

⭐This book, unlike other CRCs, is not filled with tables upon tables of constants; rather, it is a collection of articles of different thermoelectric experiments. This book has articles ranging from complex to simple, but in general it’s clear, understandable, and a good read. Unfortunately, most of the articles are very specific to specialized fields of thermoelectrics and the book won’t always answer your questions about different TE devices.
