Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

On the basis of a variational formulation of the problem of stationary heat conduction in a heterogeneous solid, a mathematical model of a fragment of a flat heat-insulating layer containing a thermoelectric module has been constructed. This model has been used to establish conditions under which, when fulfilled, the heat-insulating layer can serve as a thermostating coating for an object with a given fixed temperature under convective-radiative heat exchange on the outer surface of the fragment under consideration. The results of the qualitative analysis of the proposed model are presented.
