Nonlinear effects for three-terminal heat engine and refrigerator
The three-terminal heat device that consists of an electronic cavity and couples to a heat bath is studied both as a heat engine and as a refrigerator. We investigate the characteristic performance in the linear and nonlinear regime for both setups. It is our focus here to analyze how the efficiency of the heat engine and coefficient of performance of the refrigerator are affected by the nonlin...
متن کاملA 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 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 کاملA Miniature Adiabatic Demagnetization Refrigerator with a Magnetoresistive Heat Switch
We present the design of a novel, miniature ADR with no moving parts, which could be used to cool detectors for astrophysics research, semiconductor analysis, and mass spectrometry. The miniature ADR relies on the development of a magnetoresistive heat switch. We present measurements of the thermal conductivity of a single-crystal tungsten heat switch at temperatures below 4 K and magnetic fiel...
