Linear irreversible heat engines based on the local equilibrium assumptions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We formulate an endoreversible finite-time Carnot cycle model based on the assumptions of local equilibrium and constant energy flux, where the efficiency and the power are expressed in terms of the thermodynamic variables of the working substance.

Quantum heat engines with Carnot efficiency at maximum power

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2022
Heat engines constitute the major building blocks of modern technologies. However, conventional heat engines with higher power yield lesser efficiency and vice versa and respect various power-efficiency trade-off relations.

Double Contour Thermodynamic Cycle with Unidirectional Heat Transfer between the Refrigeration and the Energy Cycle [PDF]

open access: yesProblems of the Regional Energetics, 2019
Practical characteristics of the method for improving cycles of complex cooling thermotrans-formers associated with the regeneration of the refrigeration cycle heat productivity (RCHP) are considered. The use of heat from the working fluid compression in

Carnot Cycles in a Harmonically Confined Ultracold Gas across Bose–Einstein Condensation

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
Carnot cycles of samples of harmonically confined ultracold 87Rb fluids, near and across Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC), are analyzed. This is achieved through the experimental determination of the corresponding equation of state in terms of the ...

Fourier Heat Conduction as a phenomenon described within the scope of the Second Law

open access: yes, 2014
The historical development of the Carnot cycle necessitated the construction of isothermal and adiabatic pathways within the cycle that were also mechanically "reversible" which lead eventually to the Kelvin-Clausius development of the entropy function ...

Efficiency at maximum power of minimally nonlinear irreversible heat engines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We propose the minimally nonlinear irreversible heat engine as a new general theoretical model to study the efficiency at the maximum power $\eta^*$ of heat engines operating between the hot heat reservoir at the temperature $T_h$ and the cold one at ...

Simulation and optimization of a Carnot battery process including a heat pump/organic Rankine cycle with considering the role of the regenerator

open access: yesInternational Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies, 2022
The inherent nature of the renewable energies is to be intermittent. This leads to negative effects on the security and stability of the energy production system.

Quantum, cyclic and particle-exchange heat engines

open access: yes, 2004
Differences between the thermodynamic behavior of the three-level amplifier (a quantum heat engine based on a thermally pumped laser) and the classical Carnot cycle are usually attributed to the essentially quantum or discrete nature of the former.

Quantum-dot Carnot engine at maximum power [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We evaluate the efficiency at maximum power of a quantum-dot Carnot heat engine. The universal value of the coefficients at the linear and quadratic order in the temperature gradient are reproduced.

Onsager coefficients of a Brownian Carnot cycle [PDF]

open access: yesThe European Physical Journal B, 2010
We study a Brownian Carnot cycle introduced by T. Schmiedl and U. Seifert [Europhys. Lett. \textbf{81}, 20003 (2008)] from a viewpoint of the linear irreversible thermodynamics. By considering the entropy production rate of this cycle, we can determine thermodynamic forces and fluxes of the cycle and calculate the Onsager coefficients for general ...
