Description

This book provides fundamental theoretical concepts for the understanding, the modelling, and the optimisation of energy conversion and storage devices. The discussion is based on the general footing of efficiency-power relations and energy-power relations (Ragone plots). Efficiency and Power in Energy Conversion and Storage: Basic Physical Concepts, is written for engineers and scientists with a bachelor-degree level of knowledge in physics. It contains:
An introductory motivation of the topic
A review on equilibrium thermodynamics
A primer to linear non-equilibrium thermodynamics and irreversible processes
An introduction to endo-reversible thermodynamics
The basics on the theory of Ragone plots
Derivations of efficiency-power relations or Ragone plots for illustrative examples like heat engines, batteries, capacitors, kinetic energy storage devices, solar power, photodiodes, electro-motors, transformers, and flow turbines
An excursion to impedance matching and the optimization of technical devices with respect to economic and related objectives
