Effect of Magnetic and Electric Field Dynamics on Copper-Iron Thermocouple Performance

Abstract

Paper presents an approach to the utilization of waste heat by the use of thermoelectricity with the advent of cheap and easily available Cu-Fe thermocouple. A significant novelty of present investigation is the generation of thermo-emf with low grade waste heat utilization along with the static-electric or -magnetic fields. The performance of thermo couple is examined under normal conditions over a wide temperature range and then in different orientations of static-electric or -magnetic fields.
