MODIFICATION OF THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF THE THERMOELECTRIC MODULE OF A THERMOSTATING COATING

A modification has been made of the previously constructed mathematical model of a fragment of a flat thermostating coating including a thermoelectric module based on the variation formulation of the stationary problem of heat conduction in an inhomogeneous solid body. With the use of the Fourier finite integral transform the dependences have been obtained for calculating the temperature distribution in the heat insulating layer in the vicinity of the thermoelectric element and commutating conductors. This enabled us to refine one of the diagnostic variables of the model — the total heat resistance of the heat insulator between commutating plates and conductors of the thermoelectric module infl uencing the energy characteristics of the thermostating coating under investigation.
