Design of Heat Exchanger for Ericsson-Brayton Piston Engine
Combined power generation or cogeneration is a highly effective technology that produces heat and electricity in one device more efficiently than separate production. Overall effectiveness is growing by use of combined technologies of energy extraction, taking heat from flue gases and coolants of machines. Another problem is the dependence of such devices on fossil fuels as fuel. For the combus...
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 کاملTesting a Quantum Heat Pump with a Two-Level Spin
Once in its non-equilibrium steady state, a nanoscale system coupled to several heat baths may be thought of as a “quantum heat pump”. Depending on the direction of its stationary heat flows, it may function as, e.g., a refrigerator or a heat transformer. These continuous heat devices can be arbitrarily complex multipartite systems, and yet, their working principle is always the same: they are ...
