摘要
We apply the model of minimally nonlinear irreversible heat engines developed by Izumida and Okuda (EPL, 97 (2012) 10004) to refrigerators. The model assumes extended Onsager relations including a new nonlinear term accounting for dissipation effects. The bounds for the optimized regime under an appropriate figure of merit and the tight-coupling condition are analyzed and successfully compared with those obtained previously for low-dissipation Carnot refrigerators in the finite-time thermodynamics framework. Besides, we study the bounds for the nontight-coupling case numerically. We also introduce a leaky low-dissipation Carnot refrigerator and show that it serves as an example of the minimally nonlinear irreversible refrigerator, by calculating its Onsager coefficients explicitly.
