- Title
An Effective Flux Framework for Linear Irreversible Heat Engines: Case Study of a Thermoelectric Generator.
- Authors
Kaur, Jasleen; Johal, Ramandeep S.
- Abstract
We consider an autonomous heat engine in simultaneous contact with a hot and a cold reservoir and describe it within a linear irreversible framework. In a tight-coupling approximation, the rate of entropy generation is effectively written in terms of a single thermal flux that is a homogeneous function of the hot and cold fluxes. The specific algebraic forms of the effective flux are deduced for scenarios containing internal and external irreversibilities for the typical example of a thermoelectric generator.
