Energetic optimization effects in single resonant tunneling --nanoconverters
G. Valencia-Ortega, L. A. Arias-Hernandez
Several models of thermionic energy nanoconverters have been proposed to study the transport phenomena that take place in electronic devices. For example, in resonant tunneling jun…
The -Compromise Function as a criterion of merit to optimize irreversible thermal engines
S. Levario-Medina, L. A. Arias-Hernandez
Several authors have proposed out of equilibrium thermal engines models, allowing optimization processes involving a trade off between the power output of the engine and its dissip…
Temperature profile of an assemblage of non-isothermic linear energy converters
S. Gonzalez-Hernandez, L. A. Arias-Hernandez
In this paper, a proposal is presented to determine the temperature profile obtained for an assemblage of non-isothermal linear energy converters (ANLEC) published by Jimenez de Ci…
Thermal optimization of Curzon-Ahlborn heat engines operating under some generalized efficient power regimes
S. Levario-Medina, G. Valencia-Ortega, L. A. Arias-Hernandez
In order to establish better performance compromises between the process functionals of a heat engine, in the context of finite time thermodynamics (FTT), we propose some generaliz…
