A sublimation heat engine
Heat engines are based on the physical realization of a thermodynamic cycle, most famously the liquid-vapour Rankine cycle used for steam engines. Here we present a sublimation heat engine, which can convert temperature differences into mechanical work via the Leidenfrost effect. Through controlled experiments, quantified by a hydrodynamic model, we show that levitating dry-ice blocks rotate on...
متن کاملQuantum heat engine in the relativistic limit: the case of a Dirac particle.
We studied the efficiency of two different schemes for a quantum heat engine, by considering a single Dirac particle trapped in an infinite one-dimensional potential well as the "working substance." The first scheme is a cycle, composed of two adiabatic and two isoenergetic reversible trajectories in configuration space. The trajectories are driven by a quasistatic deformation of the potential ...
متن کاملA simple quantum heat engine
A simple urn model is presented that may describe heat engines employing as working agents spin2 particles (e.g., electrons) or twolevel atoms. In this model the cold reservoir is an urn located at altitude ǫc that contains N balls of total weight nc. Likewise, the hot reservoir at altitude ǫh contains N balls of total weight nh. A cycle consists of exchanging two randomly selected balls betwee...
متن کاملDesign and Development of a Special Compressor for Combustion-Engine-Driven Heat Pumps
With special concern to the application of a monovalent combustion engine driven heat pump for domestic service a compressor operating at various speeds was designed and developed. Besides of important constraints given by the engine drive rna in attention was drawn to a high energetic and volumetric efficiency aswell as to a great reliability and of the two cy1 i nder compressor durability. Th...
متن کاملRelativistic heat conduction
The hyperbolic heat conduction equation (HHCE), which acknowledges the finite speed of heat propagation, is based on microscopic evidence from the kinetic theory and statistical mechanics. However, it was argued that the HHCE could violate the second law of thermodynamics. This paper shows that a HHCE like equation (RHCE) can be derived directly from the theory of relativity, as a direct conseq...
