A comprehensive thermodynamic model for temperature change in i-caloric effects
A. M. G. Carvalho, W. Imamura
Solid-state cooling based on i-caloric effects may be an alternative to conventional vapor-compression refrigeration systems. The adiabatic temperature change () is one of…
High-field specific heat and entropy obtained from adiabatic temperature change
L. S. Paixão, E. O. Usuda, W. Imamura +1
Specific heat and entropy are relevant thermodynamic properties, which may be used as macroscopic probes to microscopic properties of materials under ambient conditions and under h…
A Novel Option for Waste Tire Rubber Reutilization: Refrigerant in Solid-State Cooling Devices
Nicolau Molina Bom, Érik Oda Usuda, Mariana da Silva Gigliotti +4
Management of discarded tires is a compelling environmental issue worldwide. Although several approaches have been developed to recycle waste tire rubbers, their application in sol…
Giant reversible barocaloric effects in Nitrile Butadiene Rubber around room temperature
E. O. Usuda, W. Imamura, N. M. Bom +2
Elastomers have shown to be promising barocaloric materials, being suitable candidates for solid-state cooling devices. Moreover, this family of polymers presents additional advant…
i-Caloric Effects: a proposal for normalization
William Imamura, Lucas S. Paixão, Érik O. Usuda +4
Solid-state cooling based on i-caloric effects is considered the most promising alternative to replace the conventional vapor-compression refrigeration systems. It is possible to d…
