Essay

The dissertation is devoted to complex investigations of permeable thermoelements made of functionally graded materials (FGM). Various models of such thermoelements and their physical descriptions are given. The procedure for calculation and optimization of basic parameters based on optimal control theory and computer simulation methods has been presented. The advantages of permeable thermoelements over conventional ones containing legs of solid material have been shown. The results of the research prove that application of functionally gradient thermoelectric material combined with spatial distribution of heat sources and effluent increases power efficiency of thermoelectric conversion in both cooling and power generation mode.
