Abstract :
The paper presents the development of a data acquisition system dedicated to the study of Peltier and Seebeck effect and to the performance parameters of a commercial thermoelectric semiconductor element. It was used a National Instruments NI USB-6008 Data Acquisition System (connected to National Semiconductor LM35 temperature sensors) to build a Virtual Instrumentation system programmed in NI LabView. There are presented computational models and experimental data interpretations.
