Single-ion heat engine at maximum power.
We propose an experimental scheme to realize a nanoheat engine with a single ion. An Otto cycle may be implemented by confining the ion in a linear Paul trap with tapered geometry and coupling it to engineered laser reservoirs. The quantum efficiency at maximum power is analytically determined in various regimes. Moreover, Monte Carlo simulations of the engine are performed that demonstrate its...
متن کاملQuantum-dot Carnot engine at maximum power.
We evaluate the efficiency at maximum power of a quantum-dot Carnot heat engine. The universal values of the coefficients at the linear and quadratic order in the temperature gradient are reproduced. Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency is recovered in the limit of weak dissipation.
متن کاملMaximum Power Output of Quantum Heat Engine with Energy Bath
Abstract: The difference between quantum isoenergetic process and quantum isothermal process comes from the violation of the law of equipartition of energy in the quantum regime. To reveal an important physical meaning of this fact, here we study a special type of quantum heat engine consisting of three processes: isoenergetic, isothermal and adiabatic processes. Therefore, this engine works be...
متن کاملEfficiency at maximum power of Feynman’s ratchet as a heat engine
The maximum power of Feynman’s ratchet as a heat engine and the corresponding efficiency (η∗) are investigated by optimizing both the internal parameter and the external load. When a perfect ratchet device (no heat exchange between the ratchet and the paw via kinetic energy) works between two thermal baths at temperatures T1 > T2, its efficiency at maximum power is found to be η∗ = η 2 C /[ηC −...
متن کاملEfficiency at maximum power of a chemical engine.
A cyclically operating chemical engine is considered that converts chemical energy into mechanical work. The working fluid is a gas of finite-sized spherical particles interacting through elastic hard collisions. For a generic transport law for particle uptake and release, the efficiency at maximum power η(mp) [corrected] takes the form 1/2+cΔμ+O(Δμ(2)), with 1∕2 a universal constant and Δμ the...
