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 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 کاملSuperradiant Quantum Heat Engine
Quantum physics revolutionized classical disciplines of mechanics, statistical physics, and electrodynamics. One branch of scientific knowledge however seems untouched: thermodynamics. Major motivation behind thermodynamics is to develop efficient heat engines. Technology has a trend to miniaturize engines, reaching to quantum regimes. Development of quantum heat engines (QHEs) requires emergin...
متن کاملIsolated quantum heat engine.
We present a theoretical and numerical analysis of a quantum system that is capable of functioning as a heat engine. This system could be realized experimentally using cold bosonic atoms confined to a double well potential that is created by splitting a harmonic trap with a focused laser. The system shows thermalization, and can model a reversible heat engine cycle. This is the first demonstrat...
متن کاملVapor Pressure and Heat of Sublimation of Tungsten
The va por press ure of tungs te n was measured by the Langmuir method in the te mpe rature range 2600 to 3100 K using a vac uum microbala nce. Four se ries of data gave concorda nt result s and three of the fo ur seri es gave second and third law heats of s ublimation in exce llent agreeme nt. A va por pressure equ ation representing the data is log P(atm )=45385/T + 7.87 1, based on our mean ...
