Thermoelectric effects were discovered around 1830 by French and German scientists. Thomas Seebeck observed that a magnetic field was produced by a closed loop of two different metals with each junction having a different temperature. Soon after, Danish scientist Hans-Christian Oersted found the magnetic field to be caused by an electric current, so he assigned to Seebeck’s … [Read more...]
Underfloor Electric Heating. Part II – Infrared Thermography
3D simulation can provide a detailed prediction of temperature and heat flux values at 10s of 1000s of points in a 3D model, experimental methods are somewhat limited in terms of the wealth of data they are capable of providing. But hey, this isn't going to degrade into a pitched battle between simulators and experimentalists, nowadays good engineers (should) do both. "No one … [Read more...]
Underfloor Electric Heating. Part I: In by Christmas
It's been over two years since the foundations went in for the extension we're building on our house. In that time I've come to respect and somewhat rely on glib phrases such as "Good things come to those who wait" and "Patience is a virtue". I told my better half we'd be moved in by Christmas, I didn't say which one though. In this blog series of the time I used FloVENT to … [Read more...]
