Hi

I am modeling a Thermoelectric generator.What I really want to know is that whether Thomson Effect is included in Thermoelectric Effect Module or not?

In description of Thermoelectric Effect, this is what mentioned "The Thermoelectric Effect interface is used to model Peltier-Seebeck-Thomson effects"

While in the Theory for the Thermoelectric Effect Interface, this is what mentioned "The COMSOL formulation primarily uses the Seebeck coefficient. The Peltier coefficient is also used as an intermediate variable, but the Thomson coefficient is not used"

I am really confused.

Thank You.
