THE BOOKS ABOUT THERMOELECTRICITY THAT WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO READ
We receive inquiries regarding thermoelectric modules, technologies, and their applications in various fields with a high frequency. We endeavor to address these inquiries in a thorough manner, however, there are some areas where a concise response is not sufficient. Some inquiries necessitate a comprehensive response, potentially equivalent to that of an entire academic course. In such instances, the most suitable response may be a book recommendation, which provides a thorough examination of the subject matter. To that end, we have compiled a list of books on thermoelectricity that we strongly recommend as essential reading material.
"Thermoelectric Icing Sensor"
This research book is formatted to provide a comprehensive overview of the development of an innovative icing sensor based on a thermoelectric cooler and a thermoelectric heat flux sensor. In addition to a detailed description of the research on icing detection, the book provides a detailed overview of the basic principles of thermoelectric modules and heat flux sensors. Section 6 is fully devoted to a detailed explanation of the operating principles of thermoelectric modules, key aspects of the technologies, and key parameter properties.
Recently, our research has been focused primarily on developing an innovative active icing sensor. This compact sensor uses the thermoelectric principle to facilitate advanced measurements. By exploiting thermoelectric effects such as temperature measurement, heat flux measurement, and icing condition detection, the sensor components can accurately identify the icing condition.
In addition, the methods used to collect and analyze data are based on the basic principles of thermoelectricity. Many experimental studies have been conducted to investigate the formation of ice and the composition of water and salt solutions, which are commonly used as deicing agents. These studies have not only contributed to the development of knowledge in this field, but also facilitated
the observation and comprehensive description of various physicochemical processes related to it, which can have a significant impact on scientific understanding.
New methods for measuring the temperature and intensity of icing have been developed, as well as computer programs for the mathematical analysis of experimental data. The scope of the research and development undertaken is extremely wide, going beyond a simple written fragment of a journal, a series of articles, or a comprehensive review. As a result, given the significant importance of the topic of icing, it was deemed necessary to present the results in this special publication.
"Thermoelectric Microgenerators: Optimization for energy harvesting"
A desk book for those serious about green energy harvesting, miniature thermoelectric generators. All the necessary formulas for thermoelectric generators, key aspects of the technology, detailed description of thermoelectric generator optimization, calculation examples and analysis of real applications. This book is not for dreamers and storytellers for investors, this book is a pragmatic engineering manual, a desktop guide to the development and application of realistic thermoelectric generators that work.
The idea for this book came from the experience. Our team is in thermoelectric business for over 20 years. Firstly, for many years it was thermoelectric cooling solutions for miniature applications. In recent years, thermoelectrics moves in
microgenerators trend. Green energy, energy harvesting ... Promising directions - applications of thermoelectric microgenerators for tasks of low energy - recycling waste heat surrounding thermal sources, of human body energy harvesting
and so on. This direction only began its development. Of course, there are many ideas for development come from inventors and scientists. Often an absence of sufficient knowledge and understanding of the subject of thermoelectricity is
compensated by enthusiasm, the broadest fields of promising applications, interesting tasks. Numerous appeals of such potential consumers to assist them in thermoelectric solutions usually are accompanied by neediness of detailed technical consulting from fundamental physical base of the thermoelectricity phenomenon till fine nuances in their applications. It has given rise to the idea of writing of the reference book FAQ (Frequently Asking Questions) on the most important questions. Gradually this idea has developed into the separate book on the volume of the reference material.5 The structure of this book contains detailed explanations addressed to a wide range of readers, which for the most part are not specialists in the field of thermoelectricity, of the basic ideas, important aspects of the practical application of thermoelectric microgenerators in the tasks in energy harvesting.

Thermoelectrics is the science and technology associated with thermoelectric converters, that is, the generation of electrical power by the Seebeck effect and refrigeration by the Peltier effect. Thermoelectric generators are being used in increasing numbers to provide electrical power in medical, military, and deep space applications where combinations of their desirable properties outweigh their relatively high cost and low generating efficiency. In recent years there also has been an increase in the requirement for thermoelectric coolers (Peltier devices) for use in infrared detectors and in optical communications. Information on thermoelectrics is not readily available as it is widely scattered throughout the literature. The Handbook centralizes this information in a convenient format under a single cover.
Sixty of the world's foremost authorities on thermoelectrics have contributed to this Handbook. It is comprised of fifty-five chapters, a number of which contain previously unpublished material. The contents are arranged in eight sections: general principles and theoretical considerations, material preparation, measurement of thermoelectric properties, thermoelectric materials, thermoelectric generation, generator applications, thermoelectric refrigeration, and applications of thermoelectric cooling.
The CRC Handbook of Thermoelectrics has a broad-based scope. It will interest researchers, technologists, and manufacturers, as well as students and the well-informed, non-specialist reader.
