The book comprehensively covers the basic physical principles of thermoelectrics as well as recent developments and design strategies of materials and devices.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into two sections: the first section is concerned with design and begins with an introduction to the fast developing and multidisciplinary field of thermoelectrics. This section also covers thermoelectric generators and coolers (refrigerators) before examining optimal design with dimensional analysis. A number of applications are considered, including solar thermoelectric generators, thermoelectric air conditioners and refrigerators, thermoelectric coolers for electronic devices, thermoelectric compact heat exchangers, and biomedical thermoelectric energy harvesting systems. The second section focuses on materials, and covers the physics of electrons and phonons, theoretical modeling of thermoelectric transport properties, thermoelectric materials, and nanostructures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides an introduction to a fast developing and interdisciplinary field.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes detailed, fundamental theories.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers a platform for advanced study.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThermoelectrics: Design and Materials\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive reference ideal for engineering students, as well as researchers and practitioners working in thermodynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCover designed by Yujin Lee\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136322978032,"sku":"9781118848937","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781118848937_p0.jpg?v=1769889591","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781118848937","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
