Publisher Summary This chapter presents an overview of heat engines. The efficiency of a piston engine is essentially higher than that of a flow machine—particularly at high compression ratios. Consequently, the first attempts to increase the thermal efficiency were made with piston engines; they led to the diesel engine, although the initial ...

Engineering of Microwave Heating
2017Researchers conducting microwave-assisted chemistry and materials processing use commercially available equipment. However, knowing the mechanisms of microwave devices and mastering them broadens the possibility of using new microwaves. This chapter illustrates and describes microwave generators, waveguides, coaxial cables, isolators, power monitors ...

Szilard presented the first concrete embodyment of a Maxwell demon. We present a detailed kinematic analysis of his heat engine. We find that the phase space contains a branched manifold. After defining carefully the physical dynamics on such an object, we prove that the engine must operate at a loss.

Publisher Summary The driving agent of a heat engine is a temperature differential. A heat engine must have a source and a sink of heat. The heat source may be direct solar radiation, geothermal steam, geothermal water, ocean water heated by the sun, nuclear energy (fission, fusion, or radioactivity), or the combustion of a fuel.
