This is not a new idea as my S310 Scientech can be used with a calorimeter that comes with a resistor installed at the factory at the time of manufacture. It can't be retrofitted. I think there might be something you are overlooking in this design, though I am not entirely sure. Even with a SMD resistor mounted to a TEC, the amount of heat transferred to the sensor may not be the entire heat from the resistor as the resistor is still three dimensional and you only measure the heat produced by the resistor in contact with the TEC. There will be wasted heat getting away from the senor, unless I am missing something.
