Causality in thermoelectric systems: Insights from block diagrams
Y. Apertet
While Carnot's model engines demonstrate ideal performances regarding conversion efficiency, they cannot be actually used as energy converters since they are non causal systems. Su…

Continuity and boundary conditions in thermodynamics: From Carnot's efficiency to efficiencies at maximum power
Henni Ouerdane, Yann Apertet, Christophe Goupil +1
[...] By the beginning of the 20th century, the principles of thermodynamics were summarized into the so-called four laws, which were, as it turns out, definitive negative answers…

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…
