Thermodynamics of Thermoelectric Phenomena and Applications

Thermodynamics of Thermoelectric Phenomena and Applications

Fifty years ago, the optimization of thermoelectric devices was analyzed by considering the relation between optimal performances and local entropy production. Entropy is produced by the irreversible processes in thermoelectric devices. If these processes could be eliminated, entropy production woul...
