Harnessing quantum states that avoid thermalization enables energy harvesters to surpass traditional thermodynamic limits ...
The engine works by taking heat from the hot reservoir, converting some of it into useful work, and rejecting the remaining ...
IN a paper on Carnot's Cycle and the Efficiency of Heat Engines, reported in NATURE, August 29, Dr. J. S. Haldane comes to the astonishing conclusion that “the Carnot cycle is radically in efficient” ...
A study published in Physical Review Letters (PRL) details a "Gambling Carnot Engine" that researchers report can attain 100% efficiency while also improving power generation. The researchers present ...
Researchers have shown that the effi ciency at maximum power of a quantum Otto engine can be dramatically enhanced by coupling it to a squeezed thermal reservoir. While standard heat engines interact ...
In a recent study published in Nature Physics, ICFO researchers Ignacio Martínez, Édgar Roldán, the late Dmitri Petrov and Raúl Rica, in collaboration with the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, have ...
Marlan Scully, the Texas A&M University professor who applied quantum physics to the automotive engine and came up with a design that emits laser beams instead of exhaust, has been tinkering under the ...
One of the greatest inventions is the steam engine. But why? One of the greatest inventions is the steam engine. But why? What makes it so useful? And how does it work? In this episode of Crash Course ...
