We study the electron temperature profiles for an inhomogeneous electron flow in the hydrodynamic regime. We assume that the inhomogeneity is due to a weakly non-uniform distribution of the momentum relaxation time within a spherically…

Thermoelectric devices are heat engines, which operate as generators or refrigerators using the conduction electrons as a working fluid. The thermoelectric heat-to-work conversion efficiency has always been typically quite low, but much…
