Gyrokinetic theory of magnetic structures in high-beta plasmas of the Earths magnetopause and of the slow solar wind

Dusan Jovanovic, Olga Alexandrova, Milan Maksimovic +1

Nonlinear effects of the trapping of resonant particles by the combined action of the electric field and the magnetic mirror force is studied using a gyrokinetic description that i…

Efficiency at maximum power of thermally coupled heat engines

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

We study the efficiency at maximum power of two coupled heat engines, using thermoelectric generators (TEGs) as engines. Assuming that the heat and electric charge fluxes in the TE…

Irreversibilities and efficiency at maximum power of heat engines: illustrative case of a thermoelectric generator

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

Thermoelectric generators are particularly suitable to investigate the irreversible processes which govern the coupled transport of matter and heat in solid-state systems. We study…
