چکیده
This paper presents a practice research project based at The Curzon Community Cinema, Clevedon, UK. Working closely with the cinema to develop a locative or context-aware heritage application for the iPhone, the project aims to enhance the Curzon’s new Heritage Lottery Funded exhibition, enabling visitors to gain further insight into the building, projection equipment and the history of cinema itself. The paper discusses the iterative design process, evaluates the first iteration and outlines plans for the next iteration, when the project will attempt to move seamlessly from the exterior of the building to inside the cinema.

Disks in Expanding FRW Universes
We construct exact solutions to Einstein equations which represent relativistic disks imbedded in an expanding FRW Universe. It is shown that the expansion influences the kinematical characteristics of the disks such as rotational curves, surface mass density, etc. The effects of the expansion are exemplified with non-static generalizations of Kuzmin-Curzon and Schwarzschild disks.

متن کاملThe Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency for three different energy converters
In this work we present three energy converters which have the same efficiency under certain optimum conditions of performance. The first one is the well-known Curzon-Ahlborn finite-time heat engine. The second one is an infinitetime cycle operating between two thermal bodies with finite heat capacities. The last case is a water mixer working as engine, which is designed with two stationary flu...
متن کاملOn the Dynamic Robustness of a Non-Endoreversible Engine Working in Different Operation Regimes
In this work, we focused mainly in the analysis of stability of a non-endoreversible Curzon-Ahlborn engine working in an ecological regime. For comparison purposes we also include the Maximum Efficient Power (MEP) regime taking into account the engine time delays. When the system’s dynamic stability is compared with its thermodynamics properties (efficiency and power output), we find that the t...
متن کاملA Finite-Time Thermal Cycle Variational Optimization with a Stefan-Boltzmann Law for Three Different Criteria
This work shows the power of the variational approach for studying the efficiency of thermal engines in the context of the Finite Time Thermodynamics (FTT). Using an endoreversible Curzon–Ahlborn (CA) heat engine as a model for actual thermal engines, three different criteria for thermal efficiency were analyzed: maximum power output, ecological function, and maximum power density. By means of ...
متن کاملMolecular kinetic analysis of a finite-time Carnot cycle
We study the efficiency at the maximal power ηmax of a finite-time Carnot cycle of a weakly interacting gas which we can regard as a nearly ideal gas. In several systems interacting with the hot and cold reservoirs of the temperatures Th and Tc, respectively, it is known that ηmax = 1− √ Tc/Th which is often called the Curzon-Ahlborn (CA) efficiency ηCA. For the first time numerical experiments...
