V.Ya. Mikhailovsky. Catalytic Heat and Electricity Generators as
the Way to Optimal Utilization of Hydrocarbon Fuel Energy
This paper deals with the problems related to existing methods of
thermal energy generation in the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. The efficiency
of combining catalytic heat generators with thermoelectric converters is
investigated. The areas of rational utilization of thermoelectric heat
and electricity sources have been determined with regard for economical
and environment protection requirements.
D.V. Gitsu. Phenomenological Theory of Transport Phenomena
in Crystals of D3d Class
The results of analysis of electron transport phenomena in arbitrary
classical magnetic fields and crystallographic orientation are considered.
For this purpose the polynomial representation of kinetic coeffciients
is used. The resulting expressions clearly represent the angular diagram
of these effects and the development of dynamics of galvano-thermomagnetic
effects in magnetic fields.

J. G. Vian, D. Astrain. Optimisation of a Thermosyphon Used to Dissipate
Heat From a Peltier Pellet. Domestic Refrigeration Application
A thermosyphon has been developed for heat removal from the hot
side of a Peltier pellet. This device allows to reduce the thermal resistance
of conventional fin dissipaters, thus increasing the COP of
thermoelectric refrigerators.This technology (thermosyphon and thermoelectricity)
has been implemented into a domestic refrigerator. Two refrigerators have
been manufactured, one with a thermosyphon and the other with a conventional
fin dissipater. Both have been tested and compared to each other as regards
COP. The results obtained have been compared to those for compression
refrigeration.
W. Chimchavee, J. Khedari and J. Hirunlabh. A New Approach Analysis
of Thermoelectric Modules in Cooling Mode by Electro-thermal Model
This paper presents a new electro-thermal equivalent circuit of
thermoelectric (TE) modules, named CHIM model, for the analysis of the
cooling system under steady slate. The model is a combination of
electro-thermal parts. Its main advantage is simplicity as working points
as well as optimum operating conditions of the TE system Le, current, thermai
resistance of heal exchanger and the temperature difference between cold
junction and hut junction of thermoelectric modules are easily determined.
The CHIM model was checked by the two port method. Its output run with
PSPICE program provides the same outcome as that conducted by mathematical
model that validated the proposed model.
