temperatureaffects
Temperature affects, also known as thermoelectric effects, are phenomena where a temperature difference between two junctions of a material causes an electric voltage or current. These effects are fundamental to the operation of thermoelectric devices, which convert heat into electrical energy or vice versa. The primary thermoelectric effects include the Seebeck effect, Peltier effect, and Thomson effect.
The Seebeck effect, discovered by Thomas Johann Seebeck in 1821, describes the generation of an electric voltage
The Peltier effect, named after Jean Charles Athanase Peltier, occurs when an electric current flows through
The Thomson effect, discovered by William Thomson (Lord Kelvin), describes the heating or cooling of a current-carrying
Temperature affects are influenced by the properties of the materials used, such as their electrical conductivity
Applications of temperature affects include thermoelectric generators for waste heat recovery, Peltier coolers for refrigeration, and
