The possibility of using oxide (non-platinum) catalysts in the heat
sources for thermoelectric generators with a separate methane and air feed
has been investigated. The basic kinetic characteristics of a series of
catalytic systems ha
This paper deals with the problems related to existing methods of
thermal energy generation in the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. The efficiency
of combining catalytic heat generators with thermoelectric converters is
investigated. The areas of rational utilization of thermoelectric heat
and electricity sources have been determined with regard for economical
and environment protection requirements.
Regularities of variations in physics-chemical properties and short-range
order structure of semiconductor thermoelectric materials have been considered.
The interrelation between electronic properties and molecular characteristics
and melting entropy has been established.
Correctness of formulation of solutions of inverse thermoelectricity
problems has been studied, conditions for the existence and uniqueness
of solutions of these problems have been established, general methods for
finding solutions of inverse thermoelectricity problems for inhomogeneous,
gyrotropic and anisotropic media have been described.
