## Überblick

Interactive visualization of thermoelectric effects including Seebeck, Peltier, and Thomson effects with voltage generation, heat absorption, and material properties. Features the fundamental equations: Seebeck effect V = S(T₂ - T₁) (voltage generated from temperature difference where S is Seebeck coefficient in µV/K), Peltier effect Q = Π·I = S·T·I (heat absorbed/released at junction due to current flow where Π is Peltier coefficient), Thomson effect Q = τ·I·ΔT (heat absorption/release in temperature gradient where τ is Thomson coefficient), Thomson coefficient τ = T·dS/dT (relating Thomson to Seebeck coefficient temperature dependence), Figure of merit ZT = S²σT/κ (dimensionless performance parameter combining electrical conductivity σ and thermal conductivity κ), Efficiency η = (T_h - T_c)/T_h · (√(1+ZT) - 1)/(√(1+ZT) + T_c/T_h) (conversion efficiency for thermoelectric generators). Real-time visualization includes: (1) Thermocouple Display showing two dissimilar materials (A and B) joined at hot and cold junctions, temperature gradient visualization with color-coded regions (blue=cold T₁, red=hot T₂), animated electron flow showing charge carrier diffusion from hot to cold (Seebeck) or current-driven flow (Peltier), junction point with temperature indicator, material labels (Cu, Bi₂Te₃, PbTe, SiGe, Constantan, Sb₂Te₃); (2) Temperature Distribution canvas plotting temperature vs position along the thermocouple length, linear gradient profile in each material, temperature drop at junctions, material regions labeled (A and B), temperature scale from 200-550 K, animated heat flow visualization; (3) Electrical Measurements displaying voltage meter (Seebeck voltage in mV), current meter (Peltier current in A), power calculation (P = V×I in W), efficiency percentage for generators, analog meter dials with animated needles, color-coded displays (red for voltage, blue for current, green for power); (4) Heat Flow Diagram showing hot reservoir (T₂) and cold reservoir (T₁), central thermoelectric (TE) device, animated energy flow arrows (Q_h from/to hot, Q_c to/from cold, W_e electrical power), reversible flow direction based on effect type, intensity modulation on arrows, real-time heat values displayed (Q_h, Q_c, Thomson heat τQ). Interactive parameters: Hot junction temperature T₂ (300-500 K), Cold junction temperature T₁ (200-400 K), Current I (0-10 A for Peltier), Seebeck coefficient S (10-200 µV/K), Resistance R (0.1-10 Ω), Thermal conductivity κ (0.5-5 W/(m·K)), Material selection (Material A: Cu, Bi₂Te₃, PbTe, SiGe; Material B: Constantan, Bi₂Te₃, PbTe, Sb₂Te₃), Animation speed (0.1-3x). Quick presets: Thermocouple Sensor (Seebeck mode, Th=350K, Tc=300K for temperature measurement), Peltier Cooler (Peltier mode, Th=320K, Tc=280K, I=5A for solid-state refrigeration), Thermoelectric Generator (Seebeck mode, Th=500K, Tc=300K for waste heat recovery), Waste Heat Recovery (Th=450K, Tc=320K for industrial applications). Display options: toggle electron flow visualization, heat flow animation, voltage display. Educational content covers Seebeck effect principle (charge carrier diffusion due to temperature gradient creating voltage, thermocouple operation for temperature sensing, voltage proportional to ΔT, different thermocouple types K/J/T for various ranges), Peltier effect applications (solid-state cooling without moving parts, reversible heating/cooling with current direction, cascaded devices for larger ΔT, CPU cooling, laser diode temperature stabilization, portable refrigerators, coefficient of performance COP), Thomson effect fundamentals (heat in temperature gradients due to current, relationship between Seebeck and Thomson coefficients via Kelvin relations, contribution to device efficiency), thermoelectric materials (figure of merit ZT optimization, high power factor S²σ and low thermal conductivity κ, Bi₂Te₃ for room temperature ZT~1, PbTe for mid-temperature 500-900K ZT~1.5, SiGe for high-temperature 900-1200K ZT~0.6, nanostructuring for phonon scattering), real-world applications (thermocouple temperature sensors in industrial processes and HVAC, Peltier coolers for electronics and medical devices, thermoelectric generators for automotive exhaust recovery, radioisotope thermoelectric generators RTGs for space missions like Curiosity rover, body heat harvesting for wearable electronics), historical context (Seebeck's 1821 discovery of thermoelectricity, Peltier's 1834 finding of current-driven heating/cooling, Thomson's 1851 theoretical framework and Kelvin relations, 20th century semiconductor advances enabling practical devices, modern nanostructured materials research).
