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 ofefficiency-power relationsandenergy-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 topicA review on equilibrium thermodynamicsA primer to linear non-equilibrium thermodynamics and irreversible processesAn introduction to endo-reversible thermodynamicsThe basics on the theory of Ragone plotsDerivations 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 turbinesAn excursion to impedance matching and the optimization of technical devices with respect to economic and related objectives | Efficiency And Power In Energy Conversion And Storage by Thomas Christen, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
