The properties of PVC are affected by heat transfer between PVC and environment. There are optimal solar radiation intensity and PVC output voltage (OV), which make the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PECE) of PVC reach the highest value. When OV and solar radiation intensity are 28.50 V and 700 W/m<jats:sup>2</jats:sup>, the maximum PECE is 0.156. There is also the best solar radiation intensity, which makes the open-circuit voltage (OCV) reach the maximum. When solar radiant intensity is 669 W/m<jats:sup>2</jats:sup>, the maximum OCV is 33.14 V. The values of power output and short-circuit current (SCC) are monotonically increasing with solar radiation intensity. Given solar radiation intensity, the power output and OV exhibit a parabolic shape. The operating temperature falls first and then grows with the OV. However, the change of operating temperature with OV is not much. Band gap is a decreasing function of operating temperature. This article can give theoretical support for the design and use of PVCs.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139110209","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the first part consequences of the Second Law of Thermodynamics are exploited. The cases with the second order alignment tensor in the state space on one hand and with the second and fourth order alignment tensors on the other hand are analogous. In the latter case differential equations for the second and fourth order tensors result from linear force-flux relations with a coupling arising due to coupling terms in the free energy. In the second part the differential equations for the second order orientation tensor or the second and fourth order orientation tensors, respectively are given explicitly in the special case of a rotation symmetric orientation distribution. The Folgar-Tucker equation with a quadratic closure relation leads to a Riccati equation for the second order parameter. In comparison the Folgar-Tucker equation and the differential equation for the fourth order parameter are considered. The fourth order parameter is eliminated later. The resulting equation for the second order parameter is a Duffing equation with a behavior of solutions completely different from the solutions of the Riccati equation.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138679097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following closely the analysis presented by Öttinger (Physica A, 259, 1998, 24–42; Physica A, 254, 1998, 433–450) to the same problem but for the GENERIC formalism, we include in the set of hydrodynamic variables a covariant vector playing the role of a generalized thermal force and a covariant tensor closely related to the velocity gradient tensor. In our work here, we derive first the nonrelativistic equations and then we proceed to obtain the relativistic ones by elevating the thermal variable to a four-vector, the mechanical force variable to a four-by-four tensor, and by representing the Hamiltonian of the system with the time component of the energy-momentum tensor. For the Poisson and dissipation brackets we assume the same general structure as in the nonrelativistic case, but with the phenomenological coefficients in the dissipation bracket describing friction to heat and viscous effects being properly constrained for the resulting dynamic equations to be manifest Lorentz-covariant. The final relativistic equations are identical to those derived by Öttinger but the present approach seems to be more general in the sense that one could think of alternative forms of the phenomenological coefficients describing friction that could ensure Lorentz-covariance.","PeriodicalId":16428,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics","volume":" 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138492091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Influence of the ideal gas equation and real gas equation of states on the cooling behaviour is explained. The minimum achievable refrigeration temperature of a uniform mesh regenerator is compared with a multi-mesh regenerator. It is noticed that a multi-mesh regenerator produces a lower refrigeration temperature as compared to a uniform mesh regenerator. In addition to this, a one-dimensional simulation is conducted and results are compared with multi-dimensional numerical simulation. The no-load temperature value calculated by the one-dimensional model and multi-dimensional model with ideal gas is lower than that of real gas equations.
