Thermal Distribution of Bi-Te Thermoelectric Module with the thickness of Polymer Sheet

고분자 필름의 두께변화에 따른 Bi-Te계 열전모듈의 열분포 특성

In case of attaching thermoelectric module and heat source, the polymer sheet is attached on the $AL_{2}O_3$ plate, which Is cold and hot side of thermoelectric module, in order to enhance mechanical safty of the system. It is impossible to calculate the exact distribution of temperature and flow pattern of inner gap of thermoelectric module. Therefore CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis was executed to determine the thermo-fluid phenomena and distribution by Fluent. As the result of these analysis, heat transfer was dominated by conduction and the difference of temperature was linear distribution according to the thickness of polymer sheet.
