Preliminary prospects of a Carnot-battery based on a supercritical CO2 Brayton cycle
Acta Polytechnica, 2021 As a part of the change towards a higher usage of renewable energy sources, which naturally deliver the energy intermittently, the need for energy storage systems is increasing. For the compensation of the disturbance in power production due to inter-day

Construction and optimization of a quantum analog of the Carnot cycle [PDF]
Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics, 2015 The quantum analog of Carnot cycles in few-particle systems consists of two quantum adiabatic steps and two isothermal steps. This construction is formally justified by use of a minimum work principle.

Symmetry in thermal cycles and processes [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Symmetry analysis is a cutting-edge research approach in physics, yet its application in macroscopic energy systems remains limited. This study demonstrates its potential to provide valuable insights for a deeper understanding and development of

Achieving Carnot efficiency in a finite-power Brownian Carnot cycle with arbitrary temperature difference. [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2021 Achieving the Carnot efficiency at finite power is a challenging problem in heat engines due to the trade-off relation between efficiency and power that holds for general heat engines.

How the Brain Becomes the Mind: Can Thermodynamics Explain the Emergence and Nature of Emotions?
Entropy, 2022 The neural systems’ electric activities are fundamental for the phenomenology of consciousness. Sensory perception triggers an information/energy exchange with the environment, but the brain’s recurrent activations maintain a resting state with constant ...

Maximum power and the corresponding efficiency for a Carnot-like thermoelectric cycle based on fluctuation theorem. [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2023 Here, we investigate the maximum power and efficiency of thermoelectric generators through devising a set of protocols for the isothermal and adiabatic processes of thermoelectricity to build a Carnot-like thermoelectric cycle, with the analysis based on
