1.)Peltier heat absorption is given by Q = P (Peltier Coefficient) I (current) t (time). A single stage thermoelectric cooler can produce a maximum temperature difference of about 70 degrees Celsius. The cooling effect of any unit using thermoelectric coolers is proportional to the number of coolers used. Typically multiple thermoelectric coolers are connected side by side and then placed between two metal plates.
Thermoelectric systems are based on the scientific phenomena called the Peltier Effect. According to this phenomenon a temperature gradient is set up when an electric current is passed through the junctions of two conductors. Due to this effect heat is deposited in one junction and cooling occurs in the other junction.Thermoelectric systems are mainly used in cooling devices but it also finds application in heating devices. In both cases DC voltage is necessary.
2.)Thermoelectrics currently attracts considerable attention as a promising branch in the field of organic electronics, with the prospect that organic semiconductors (OSCs) allow the development of light, flexible, and inexpensive thermoelectric devices, which act as alternative power sources, generating electricity from heat gradients. Thermoelectric generators are solid-state devices that convert heat directly to electricity. They do not contain any moving parts and are able to operate over an extended period of time, and furthermore can function with small heat sources and limited temperature differences, which facilitates their use in situations where traditional engines are not feasible. The absence of moving parts, low need for maintenance, and a large variety of possible device architectures render organic thermoelectrics attractive for numerous applications, ranging from waste heat recovery to wearable textiles. In this chapter, we give a short introduction to the fundamentals of the thermoelectric effect, as well as to the design principles for thermoelectric generators and their characterization.
1. How could you use a thermoelectric device as a heater instead of a cooler? (Is...
A thermoelectric refrigeration unit is used to dehumidify a plant growth chamber on the International Space Station. The device draws 120 watts. Its coefficient of performance varies according to the temperature gap ∆T = TH – TC and can be modeled as: COP = 9 – 0.48∆T +.006 (∆T)2. where TC is the chamber setpoint temperature and TH is the temperature outside the growth chamber. Experience shows that essentially all heat removed by the unit is latent heat from condensation...

You are designing a space heater that can deliver the most power to a person’s upper body 2 m away from the heater. If the device has a maximum current of 15 A and surfaces in the room must stay below 80 degrees Celsius, how might you design such a heater? What do you need to take into consideration? (Open ended question - there is no single correct answer)
Reflux procedure and report 1) You start at the same time and in same devices reflux of 40 ml of hexane and in another one 40 ml of benzene. Which device will start reflux first? Explain 2) Why reflux is a referable method of running chemical reactions that require heating? Why not just heat your reaction content in the Erlenmeyer flask? 3) Why do we turn heat off first and water only after your device is at room temperature? 4)...

1. Suppose you are going to purchase a new heater for your home. You have a choice of an electric heater or a natural gas heater. The cost of the electric heater is $4,000 and the natural gas heater is $6,000. The cost of electricity is $0.10/kwh and the cost of natural gas is $0.50/therm. Assume you use 10,000 kwh of electricity or 1,000 therms each year to heat your home. Each heater is expected to last 25 years. To...
