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…
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…
