Optimizing thermodynamic trajectories using evolutionary and gradient-based reinforcement learning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Using a model heat engine, we show that neural network-based reinforcement learning can identify thermodynamic trajectories of maximal efficiency. We consider both gradient and gradient-free reinforcement learning.

Fresh Look and Understanding on Carnot Cycle

open access: yesEnergy Procedia, 2014
AbstractCarnot cycle and theorem are major contributions of classical thermodynamics since proposed in 1824, while Carnot failed to prove it because of the influence of Caloric theory of heat. Then in 1850, Clausius confirmed Carnot theorem via reduction to absurdity and put forward the second law of thermodynamics. From then on, the theory that Carnot

Correlation-boosted quantum engine: A proof-of-principle demonstration

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2023
Employing currently available quantum technology, we design and implement a nonclassically correlated SWAP heat engine that allows to achieve an efficiency above the standard Carnot limit.

A New Step in the Optimization of the Chambadal Model of the Carnot Engine

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
This paper presents a new step in the optimization of the Chambadal model of the Carnot engine. It allows a sequential optimization of a model with internal irreversibilities. The optimization is performed successively with respect to various objectives (

Equilibrium Chemical Engines

open access: yes, 1997
An equilibrium reversible cycle with a certain engine to transduce the energy of any chemical reaction into mechanical energy is proposed. The efficiency for chemical energy transduction is also defined so as to be compared with Carnot efficiency ...

Free Energy and Internal Combustion Engine Cycles [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2012
The performance of one type (Carnot) of Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) cycle is analyzed within the framework of thermodynamic free energies. ICE performance is different from that of an External Combustion Engine (ECE) which is dictated by Carnot's rule.

Carnot Model and Theoretical Efficiency of Large-Temperature-Difference of Absorption Cycle

open access: yesZhileng xuebao, 2005
The Carnot analysis method was proposed for the simplification of the thermodynamic analysis of the absorption cycle,by the comparison of the absorption cycle and the compression cycle.The system with two evaporators and two absorbers that is suitable ...

Entropy Change in the Carnot Cycle: Entropy in the Adiabatic Process [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2012
Entropy change in the Carnot cycle is discussed. In particular, the isentropic change in the adiabatic expansion (or compression) is reinvestigated.
