Prybyla A. Transverse - type spiral anisotropic thermoelement

The dissertation is dedicated to construction of precise theory of transverse-type spiral anisotropic thermoelement that takes into account all the necessary factors affecting the parameters and characteristics of thermoelements, including the geometrical factors, temperature dependences of material parameters, process peculiarities in the near-contact areas, the presence of eddy thermoelectric currents. The elaborated theory of spiral anisotropic thermoelement should be the basis for development of optimization and design methods for a precise solution of practical tasks. Creation of theory of spiral anisotropic thermoelement that establishes the effect of a totality of thermoelectric phenomena, in particular, localized eddy thermoelectric currents, on the distribution of thermal and electric fields in the anisotropic media is of theoretical significance in the formulation and solving the problems of thermoelectric power conversion and information in spiral anisotropic thermoelements The results of using computer technologies for the simulation and optimization of spiral anisotropic thermoelements are of applied significance and can be recommended for the development of heat flux sensors, including for the differential thermal analysis, dilatometry, environmental control for the presence of bacterial contamination signs.
