Abstract :
The account of irregularity of temperature fields is especially important for thermoelectric devices which are characterized by high thermal fluxes values. For this purpose the program for calculating of three-dimensional temperature fields was designed on the base of known numerical algorithms. By using this program it is possible to obtain the real values of thermal resistances of such thermoelectric device elements as module´s ceramic plate, heat-sink base etc. In the article some calculation results are given.
