Macroeconomic Dynamics in a finite world: the Thermodynamic Potential Approach
Éric Herbert, and Gael Giraud, Aurélie Louis-Napoléon +1
This paper presents a conceptual model describing the medium and long-term co-evolution of natural and socio-economic subsystems of Earth. An economy is viewed as an out-of-equilib…
The thermoelectric conversion efficiency problem: Insights from the electron gas thermodynamics close to a phase transition
I. Khomchenko, A. Ryzhov, F. Maculewicz +10
The bottleneck in modern thermoelectric power generation and cooling is the low energy conversion efficiency of thermoelectric materials. The detrimental effects of lattice phonons…
Nernst and Ettingshausen effects in the Laughlin geometry
S. G. Sharapov, A. A. Varlamov, C. Goupil +1
The ideal reversible thermodynamic cycle visualization of the Nernst effect in Laughlin geometry, excluding the kinetic contribution is proposed. The Ettingshausen effect is also t…
Thermodynamics of animal locomotion
E. Herbert, H. Ouerdane, Ph. Lecoeur +2
Muscles are biological actuators extensively studied in the frame of Hill's classic empirical model as isolated biomechanical entities, which hardly applies to a living organism su…
Non-linear impedance spectroscopy applied to thermoelectric measurements: beyond the ZT estimation
Etienne Thiébaut, François Pesty, Christophe Goupil +2
Thermoelectric measurement of the dimensionless zT parameter requires multiple physical quantities to be measured, therefore there is great interest to find an experimental setup c…
Maximization of the thermoelectric cooling of graded Peltier by analytical heat equation resolution
E. Thiébaut, C. Goupil, F. Pesty +3
Increasing the maximum cooling effect of a Peltier cooler can be achieved through materials and device design. The use of inhomogeneous, FGM (functionally graded materials) may be…
