Peltier Effect Sentence Examples

• The order of the metals in respect of the Peltier effect was found to be the same as the thermoelectric series.

• But on account of the difficulty of the measurements involved, the verification of the accurate relation between the Peltier effect and thermoelectric power was left to more recent times.

• Clausius (1853) that the Peltier effect varied directly as the absolute temperature, and that the E.M.F.

• Consider an elementary couple of two metals A and B for which s has the values s and s" respectively, with junctions at the temperature T and T+dT (absolute), at which the coefficients of the Peltier effect are P and P+dP.
