Modern Thermodynamics: From Heat Engines to Dissipative Structures
نویسنده
چکیده
Thermodynamics is a core part of most science and engineering curricula. However, most texts that are currently available to students still treat thermodynamics very much as it was presented in the 19th century,...

An Unusually Efficient Coupling of Carnot Engines
The heat engine, or related mechanisms, appears as an essential component in most models for self-organizing phenomena. Following the autopoietic-allopoietic classification used in Prigogine’s dissipative structures paradigm to discriminate heat engines in terms of the final use of the work by they produced, we introduce here an autopoietic coupling of heat engines as a possible model for the e...

متن کاملA review of quantum thermodynamics
In this article, we present a brief and elementary review of quantum thermodynamics and its achievements and challenges. This review includes an introduction to some fundamental concepts such as internal energy, heat, work, entropy, entropy production, thermal equilibrium, second law of quantum thermodynamics, relation between thermodynamics and information theory, as well as a discussion of ho...
متن کاملComparison of Performances for Air-Standard Atkinson and Dual Combustion Cycles with Heat Transfer Considerations
There are heat losses during the cycle of real engine that are neglected in ideal air-standard analysis. In this paper, the effect of heat transfer on the net output work is shown and thermal efficiency of the air-standard Atkinson and the Dual combustion cycles are analyzed. Comparison of performances of the air-standard Atkinson and the Dual combustion cycles with heat transfer considerations...
متن کاملI.D The Second Law
The historical development of thermodynamics follows the industrial revolution in the 19 century, and the advent of heat engines. It is interesting to see how such practical considerations as the efficiency of engines can lead to abstract ideas like entropy. An idealized heat engine works by taking in a certain amount of heat QH , from a heat source (for example a coal fire), converting a porti...
