Abstract

Heat transfer processes in one-component (having one type of charged thermal carriers) media with nonlinear surface heat transfer are investigated. It is shown that three-valued (with respect to an externally imposed temperature difference) temperature distributions associated with hysteresis of the thermo-emf are established in the medium for certain conditions on the characteristics of the sample and the surface heat-transfer parameters. The predicted hysteresis effect is analyzed within the framework of the linear model of a thermoelectric medium. Techniques are discussed for the experimental implementation of the given effect.
