Electrocaloric working elements are modeled by 2-D geometry and the thermodynamic efficiencies of Carnot, Ericsson and Brayton cycles were investigated in a solid-state electrocaloric cooling device. Using a comprehensive model for coupled thermal, electrical interactions in ferroelectric PMN-0.3PT...
