Abstract: Thermoelectric cooling uses the Peltier effect to create a heat flux between the junctions of two different types of materials. A thermoelectric or Peltier device transfers heat from one side of the device to the other side (from cold to hot) with consumption of electrical energy and is commonly used in portable coolers. In this study, cooling time of water in a glass at 20q C temperature on a thermoelectric device is investigated numerically. Two different values for aspect ratio, H/R=0.05m/0.05m and H/R=0.025m/0.1m, are taken into consideration. The results show that weak convection currents develop inside the glass container. The results also show that a large heat transfer surface should be used for an effective cooling of water.
