On the influence of thermal hysteresis on the performance of thermomagnetic motors

Abstract: Although thermal hysteresis might be a problem in the magnetocaloric refrigeration, the same is not necessarily true for thermomagnetic motor applications. This work presents a comparison of the magnetocaloric properties of materials with first order magnetic transition (having large or narrow thermal hysteresis) to those with second order magnetic transition, assessing the application of these materials in thermomagnetic motors through a thermodynamic approach. Results show that the larger the thermal hystere… Show more

“…However, there are alternative applications of magnetocaloric materials, such as thermomagnetic motors, for which there are theoretical studies, indicating that a moderate thermal hysteresis could be beneficial for the performance of the device. 11 Consequently, as in any other aspect of magnetic materials' research, we should not consider thermal hysteresis as an intrinsically bad characteristic. Let us just recall that for permanent magnet applications, coercivity is a required property, while it has to be avoided in the case of soft magnetic materials; the situation might be analogous with magnetocaloric materials, depending on the target application.…”

“…"First-order" materials have a transition in which the magnetization changes discontinuously at T C , with a latent heat associated with the phase transition, and in most cases presenting a high thermal hysteresis in the thermomagnetic transition, meaning that the critical transition temperature will be different for the heating and cooling processes. While the thermal hysteresis is usually associated with a loss of energy, especially for the applications in magnetocaloric refrigeration, and therefore attempts have been made to reduce its magnitude , for thermomagnetic motors this effect could, in fact, represent an increase in the efficiency (BESSA et al, 2017).…”
