Abstract

A method is presented and results of computer design of permeable thermoelements made of functionally graded materials (FGM) for cooling a heat carrier blown through channels or pores in the branches are provided. It is shown that the coefficient of performance of permeable thermoelements made of FGM based on Bi–Te can be 2–3 times higher than that of traditionally used homogeneous monolithic thermoelements, which indicates the prospects of their application for cooling gas and liquid flows.
