ABSTRACT

Description of thermoelectric power conversion is the basis for the physics of thermoelectricity. šis description employs physical models that are commonly called “thermoelements.”

Correct or appropriate choice of physical models predetermines their accuracy in the description of real processes and characteristics, as well as the e¤orts necessary to reach the desired results. As is known, the ability of assuming and ignoring in physical models is eventually responsible for the success of research.
