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…
A linear nonequilibrium thermodynamics approach to optimization of thermoelectric devices
H. Ouerdane, C. Goupil, Y. Apertet +2
Improvement of thermoelectric systems in terms of performance and range of applications relies on progress in materials science and optimization of device operation. In this chapte…
On the efficiency at maximum cooling power
Yann Apertet, Henni Ouerdane, Aurelie Michot +2
The efficiency at maximum power (EMP) of heat engines operating as generators is one corner stone of finite-time thermodynamics, the Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency being co…
From local force-flux relationships to internal dissipations and their impact on heat engine performance: The illustrative case of a thermoelectric generator
Yann Apertet, Henni Ouerdane, Christophe Goupil +1
We present an in-depth analysis of the sometimes understated role of the principle of energy conservation in linear irreversible thermodynamics. Our case study is that of a thermoe…
