Abstract(s)
O elevado custo de energia, a poluição ambiental e o aquecimento global são
alguns dos grandes problemas que a humanidade tem enfrentado atualmente. Para
minimizar, de alguma forma, estes problemas, os cientistas têm concentrado as suas
atividades na procura de formas alternativas de obtenção de energia e de realizar a sua
captura. O efeito termoelétrico converte energia térmica em eletricidade. Na
Bioengenharia, é possível conceber aplicações com módulos termoelétricos que
aproveitam a energia térmica do corpo humano para a converter em energia elétrica,
que possam alimentar dispositivos microeletrónicos e sensores autónomos. Os
desempenhos dos módulos termoelétricos dependem dos vários parâmetros. A correta
avaliação e simulação desses desempenhos é fundamental tanto no seu
desenvolvimento quanto na sua aplicação em sistemas completos.

The thermoelectric effect converts thermal energy into electricity. In Bioengineering, it is possible to design applications with thermoelectric modules that take advantage of the thermal energy of human body to convert it into electrical energy, which can be used to feed microelectronic devices and autonomous sensors. The performance of thermoelectric modules depends on the various parameters and its evaluation and simulation are fundamental in the development and in its application in complete systems.
