Question:

Design a thermoelectric refrigerator that is capable of cooling a canned drink in a car. The refrigerator is to be powered by the cigarette lighter of the car. Draw a sketch of your design. Semiconductor components for building thermoelectric power generators or refrigerators are available from several manufacturers. Using data from one of these manufacturers, determine how many of these components you need in your design, and estimate the coefficient of performance of your system. A critical problem in the design of thermoelectric refrigerators is the effective rejection of waste heat. Discuss how you can enhance the rate of heat rejection without using any devices with moving parts such as a fan.
