Özet:

A geometrical shape factor was investigated for optimum thermoelectric properties of a thermoelectric module. The cooling power, electrical energy consumption and coefficient of performance were analysed using simulation with different current values passing though thermoelectric elements for varying temperature difference between both sides of the module. The dramatic increase in the cooling power density was obtained since it is inversely proportional to the length of thermoelectric legs. An artificial neural network model for each thermoelectric property was also developed using input-output relations. Furthermore, an analytical equation as depending on simulation and prediction results has been determined. The models including the shape factor have a good prediction capability and agreement with simulation results. The correlation of the models was found to be 99% and overall prediction and calculation error was in the range of 0.299 and 0.015 which is within acceptable limits. A module prototype has been performed by the data using models obtained from the numerical methods. The test measurements from the prototype are corresponding with the data obtained from the models. This indicates that numerical methods are useful tool for designers to save time and material.
