Thermodynamics of metabolic energy conversion under muscle load

C. Goupil, H. Ouerdane, E. Herbert +1

The metabolic processes complexity is at the heart of energy conversion in living organisms and forms a huge obstacle to develop tractable thermodynamic metabolism models. By raisi…

True nature of the Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency

Yann Apertet, Henni Ouerdane, Christophe Goupil +1

The Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency has long served as the definite upper bound for the thermal efficiency at maximum output power, and has thus shaped the development of finite-time the…

Closed-loop approach to thermodynamics

C. Goupil, H. Ouerdane, E. Herbert +3

We present the closed loop approach to linear nonequilibrium thermodynamics considering a generic heat engine dissipatively connected to two temperature baths. The system is usuall…

The thermoelectric working fluid: thermodynamics and transport

G. Benenti, H. Ouerdane, C. Goupil

Thermoelectric devices are heat engines, which operate as generators or refrigerators using the conduction electrons as a working fluid. The thermoelectric heat-to-work conversion…

Revisiting Feynman's ratchet with thermoelectric transport theory

Y. Apertet, H. Ouerdane, C. Goupil +1

We show how the formalism used for thermoelectric transport may be adapted to Smoluchowski's seminal thought experiment also known as Feynman's ratchet and pawl system. Our analysi…
