Paul G.Lau and Richard J.Buist. Temperature and Time Dependent Finite-element Model of a Thermoelectric Couple
The cooling performance of a thermoelectric (TE) couple is modeled from mathematical differential equations via finite-elements with the use a digital computer. The finite-element model, which incorporates material property dependence on time and temperature, is presented. TE couple transient performance is investigated by applying an on-off current wave from to the model. Results from the model output are compared with experiment.
Shuchitangshu Chatterjee. Stress Developed on Typical Galena Thermocouple.
This paper reports the thermal expansion, coefficient of linear expansion of n and p type sintered galena thermoelements at different temperatures. The measurements were taken from room temperature to 425
° C. It was found that in all the cases the expansion was non-linear. The non-linear expansion might be due to the imperfect grain growth and porosity.In this study, the approach is to calculate the total stress developed on typical n if p type arms on galena thermocouple due to temperature effect and external compressive force.
The above information is required for fabricating galena based thermoelectric generator.

E.P.Sabo. The Electrical Conductivity in Lead Telluride in the Presence of Intercrystalline.
High-resistance intercrystalline phases considerably reduce the low-temperature (T 50K) electrical conductivity of the compacts. This reductions correlates with O2 content and reaches the value of three orders of magnitude for p-type PbTe. At room temperature an effect of intercrystalline phases on the electrical conductivity is rather small. It is assumed that the observed complex temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity is mainly responsible for the presence of the intercrystalline films of lead oxides and Te.
